The Wisconsin Quality of Life Index (W-QLI) for use in mental health has been made available to
investigators in community settings, academia and the pharmaceutical industry. In exchange for early
access to the W-QLI, anonymous data sets have been provided to the developers for psychometric
evaluation. Early application studies were primarily conducted in community support programs
(CSP’s). However, the W-QLI has also been used in hospital settings, clinical trials, a private doctor’s
office, and mental health care units of health maintenance organizations
