Abstract

Building upon recommendations to broaden the conceptualization of recovery and to assess its relationship with health-related quality of life (HRQoL), this study addressed three primary aims. These included: 1) testing the model fit of a hypothesized latent measure of recovery, 2) examining the extent to which this multidimensional measure of recovery was associated with concurrently measured HRQoL, and 3) examining the extent to which this multidimensional measure of recovery predicted changes in HRQoL during the subsequent year. Data were from 1,008 adults who completed follow-up assessments at 15 and 16 years post-intake. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated a good fit for a hypothesized recovery measure (CFI=.98; RMSEA=.06). Additionally, structural equation modeling suggested that this recovery measure was not only concurrently associated with HRQoL (β=.78, p<.001), but was also a significant predictor of changes in HRQoL during the subsequent year (β=.25, p<.001).
