“…Some studies have explored certain psychometric properties of the WHOQOL-BREF among populations with addictive conducts, such as the reliability or convergent validity with similar tests (Barros da Silva Lima, Fleck, Pechansky, De Boni, & Sukop, 2005), yet hardly any studies have been found on the construct validity that also reflect significant inconsistencies in the structure (Fu et al, 2013). The few papers available that explore the theoretical suitability of four domains to the data available have shown some inconsistencies in psychiatric population samples (Trompenaars, Masthoff, van Heck, Hodiamont, & de Vries, 2005) and in varied-source clinical and non-clinical samples Urzúa & Caqueo-Urízar, 2013), including samples recruited from methadone treatment programs (Chang, Wang, Tang, Cheng, & Lin, 2014).…”
