What New Zealanders find important to their quality of life: comparisons with international WHOQOL data from 14 other countries.

CONCLUSIONS: The overall high similarities of importance rankings with the global dataset suggest that the cross-cultural validity of the instrument may still be current. The few observed differences could reflect aspects unique to New Zealand or the presence of global trends during the 17 years since the original WHOQOL work, highlighting the utility of periodic investigations into the need to update the instrument.
