Investigated the impact of psychological and behavioral issues on the quality of life (QoL) of young people, revealing discrepancies between self-reported and parent-reported QoL.
Analyzed data from 284 parent-child pairs, highlighting that boys reported better QoL than girls, and younger children fared better than older peers.
Found that self-reports of emotional problems and parent-reported behavioral issues significantly influenced QoL evaluations, emphasizing the importance of incorporating both perspectives in assessing youth QoL.
