TL;DR
The modified WIQ demonstrated good reliability and validity with both methods of administration and suggests that the self- Administered and telephone-administered versions of the WIQ can be used reliably and efficiently in clinical trials.
Abstract
The modified WIQ demonstrated good reliability and validity with both methods of administration. These results suggest that the self-administered and telephone-administered versions of the WIQ can be used reliably and efficiently in clinical trials.

An approach to elucidating the significance of changes in score in quality of life instruments by comparing them to global ratings of change is developed, and a plausible range within which the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) falls is established.

For some questionnaires, it is known that the smallest change in score that patients consider important is 0.5 per question, and even if the mean difference between a treatment and a control is appreciably less than the smallest changes that is important, treatment may have an important impact on many patients.
