Health quality of life is participation in daily life tasks, activities, and roles in a manner that contributes to individual, familial, societal, and global health and well-being. A bio-psycho-social approach is taken with respect to processes and outcomes of health quality of life.

At the Health Quality of Life Lab at Tufts, researchers and students from different disciplines conduct research in a creative and collaborative environment. The lab is a model of scholarly and productive research engagement in an area of knowledge (health quality of life) that is at an early stage of development, theoretically, empirically, and socially, but has much potential for future development, social contribution, and funding.

We are committed to:

• interdisciplinary collaboration
• global and cross-cultural research
• research education and training
