Population norms for the AQoL derived from the 2007 Australian National Survey of Mental Health and Wellbeing.

Conclusions: This study has provided contemporary Australian population norms for HRQoL that may be used by researchers as indicators allowing interpretation and estimation of population health (e.g. estimation of the burden of disease), cross comparison between studies, the identification of health inequalities, and to provide benchmarks for health care interventions.
