Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

BACKGROUND: Family Quality of Life (FQOL) is an important construct in the Intellectual Disabilities field. Several measures exist, including one developed by an international group, the Family Quality of Life Survey-2006 (FQOLS-2006; Brown et al.2006). However, the psychometric properties of this measure have yet to be fully investigated. This study was designed to examine its concurrent validity compared to the well established Beach Center FQOL Scale. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a sample of 62 families of school-aged Canadian children with intellectual disability and/or autism spectrum disorder, both the FQOLS-2006 and the Beach Center FQOL scale were administered and the scores compared. RESULTS: The total scores of the two measures were strongly correlated, as were particular subscales that would be expected to correlate. However, there were several surprising correlations as well. CONCLUSIONS: The FQOLS-2006 shows good concurrent validity relative to the Beach Center scale, although some domains show unexpected relationships, suggesting further research is needed.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
