Correlations of the A-RHDQoL with SF-36 and W-BQ12 variables

		A-RHDQoL
	Average Weighted Impact	Overview item QI -present QoL	Overview item QII -impact on QoL

Positive Well-being	0.41**	0.47**	0.32**

Significant at **p < 0.01 and *p < 0.05 (2-tailed) after Bonferroni corrections. Correlations of all SF-36 subscales, W-BQ12 Negative Well-being and General Well-being total were Spearman's rho (non-parametric data), and those of W-BQ12 Positive Well-being and Energy were Pearson's r (parametric data). N: range 112 – 125. ^†A high score for W-BQ12 subscales indicates more of the subscale mood, (hence the negative correlations between Negative Well-being and A-RHDQoL variables).
