        abstract = {The aim of the present study was to evaluate reliability of World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF) in an adult population of Drug addicts in Shimla, India. Total 120 adults in the Shimla district were interviewed using a questionnaire containing the WHOQOL-BREF. To assess the reliability of WHOQOL-BREF, Cronbach’s α was calculated, and test–retest reliability was evaluated, after analyses, the WHOQOL-BREF showed good internal consistency and was sensitive to improvement after practices+ of selected Yoga module.
Convergent validity between the WHOQOL-BREF and the Yoga practice was statistically significant as well as WHOQOL-BREF’s ability to discriminate between patient on the basis of their Yoga practices.
In conclusion, the WHOQOL-BREF seems to be valid and reliable instrument with some modification, it is suitable for evaluating Quality of life of Drug addicts with practice of selected Yoga module.  },
