A recent study conducted by the University of Clermont-Auvergne in France aimed to investigate the agreement and discrepancies between parent proxy- and adolescent self-reports on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of adolescents with Tourette Syndrome (TS). The study found that there was varying agreement between mothers, fathers, and adolescents themselves on HRQoL scores, with mothers and fathers underestimating adolescents' HRQoL in certain subscales. The research suggests that a comprehensive evaluation of adolescents' HRQoL with TS should consider the perspectives of both adolescents and their parents. Clinicians should take this into account when providing care and services. [Extracted from the article] |
