His Psychometrics study incorporates themes from Quality of life, Chronic disease, Activities of daily living, Test validity and Convergent validity.

His Physical therapy research includes elements of RELIABILITY VALIDITY, Reliability, Asthma, Reliability and Severity of illness. The study incorporates disciplines such as Scale, Psychosocial, Psychiatry, Pediatric cancer and Self-assessment in addition to Clinical psychology. His Pediatrics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Body mass index, Health related quality of life, Cerebral palsy and Cross-sectional study.

His most cited work include:

  • PedsQL 4.0: reliability and validity of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory version 4.0 generic core scales in healthy and patient populations. (3145 citations)
  • The PedsQL: measurement model for the pediatric quality of life inventory. (2123 citations)
  • Health-related quality of life of severely obese children and adolescents. (1488 citations)
