This provides evidence that index measuring life as intended conceptual model. Further support index's given high degree correlation between another scale comparable (but not identical) domains from internal consistency test-retest repeatability also offered encouraging instrument. first study rigorously comprehensively test capabilities low-income setting. provide supportive locally developed can used robust tool assessment
