Abstract
Schalock, Bonham, and Marchand [(2000). Evaluation and Program Planning, 23(1),75-85] used self-reports or proxy responses in their analysis of quality of life. This paper examines the appropriateness of that approach and reviews broader issues concerning the use of proxies and consumer:proxy agreement. These issues include: dealing with data from different sources (i.e., consumers and proxies), confounding of information source and consumer characteristics, response biases in self-reports, and future research on proxies.
