Abstract
The article presents a set of norms for use with an instrument which appears promising in monitoring the quality of life of chronically ill patients; it is easy to use, can be used repeatedly without sensitization and has demonstrated reliability and validity.The norms were generated from a stratified random sample of urban Aucklanders and use of them with some illustrative examples suggests their utility in assessing the effects on the subjective well‐being of patients of treatment and hospitalization. It is suggested that the norms are probably useful in most populations in Australasia.Keywords
