摘　　要：Background:The 13‐MD is a new generic instrument developed to measure general health‐related quality of life(GHRQoL).This instrument considers all aspects of health(i.e.,physical,mental,and social)in a balanced way.A previous study led to minor changes in the original version of the 13‐MD.The objective of this study was to confirm the validity of the modified 13‐MD.Methods:Validity was assessed with recent data from the general population of Quebec,Canada.The meta‐dimensions and items composing the 13‐MD were also subjected to a ranking procedure,which allowed to determine the most important aspects for respondents.Results:A total of 1337 French‐speaking participants were recruited with 1099 completing the 13‐MD for validation purposes and 1084 completing the ranking procedure.The 13‐MD showed very satisfactory results and confirmed to be a valid instrument.The ranking of the meta‐dimensions revealed that“Well‐being”received the most points,followed by“Sleep and energy”and“Body functioning.”Conclusion:These results will be very useful in the continuous improvement of the 13‐MD,ultimately leading to the valuation stage(i.e.,development of a value set).
