Special Interest Groups
Have you heard about the ISOQOL special interest groups (SIGs)?
The ISOQOL SIGs are interest groups covering specific topics within the field of quality of life research. Current SIGs cover the following QoL research areas:
- Psychometrics;
- Child Health;
- New Investigators;
- QoL in Clinical Practice;
- Response Shift;
- Translation & Cultural Adaptation.
SIGs offer all ISOQOL members a unique network of researchers who share similar interests within the quality of life field.
What's in it for me?
- Become part of an international network of people who are working in a similar field to your own;
- Get your voice heard when you attend the yearly SIG meetings at the ISOQOL annual conference;
- Receive information related to your special interest from the SIG chairs the whole year;
- Get connected with other SIG members through the listserv to share ideals and build your world-wide network
How can you join?
