Psychometric properties of Client's questionnaire from the Canadian version of the Wisconsin Quality of Life-Index (CaW-QLI) were assessed with two groups, 89 English (E) and 94 French (F) individuals with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder. Sub-samples of 40 E and 36 F were re-interviewed within a 2-week period. Spearman correlations-SC between each domain and CaW-QLI global Score ranged from 0.39 to 0.76, while interdomain correlations were low, confirming the multi-dimensional properties of the scale. Cronbach's alpha (internal consistency) were 0.78 (E) and 0.70 (F) for the CaW-QLI global scores and, from 0.45 to 0.88 among seven of eight domains. Test-retest (Concordance Correlation Coefficient--CCC) ranged from 0.36 to 0.80 among the domains, and from 0.80 (E) and 0.85 (F) between CaW-QLI global scores. Regarding convergent validity, SC between CaW-QLI global score and Spitzer's QOL-Index were 0.72 (E) and 0.58 (F). As hypothesized, there were higher correlations between CaW-QLI global scores (E and F) and SF-36 scales related to mental health than those related to physical health. Minor changes in the scoring are proposed to enhance face and content validity.
