Objective
This systematic review aimed to identify and evaluate quality of life (QoL) and health-related QoL outcome instruments used in addiction-related risk and harm research and map their conceptualised domains.
Findings/Key points
Many instruments have been utilised. However, a significant proportion of studies applied a small number of instruments with minimal high-quality validation evidence supporting their use within addiction-related risk and harm. Promising instruments are recommended, however, the paucity of supporting evidence limits confidence in the reliability and validity of QoL measurement in these populations.
