Abstract Background The main objective of this study is to develop a multilevel multi-factor index to assess the quality of life of the Malayali tribal population of India at the household and village levels based on nine domains, namely, Demography, Economy, Health, Human Development, Infrastructure Development, Work Participation, Recreation, Social Capital and Self Perception. An attempt is made to classify the individuals as well as villages by the overall scores of a multi-factor -index within a community which will help policymakers to develop concrete policy recommendations for the improvement of the quality of life of this tribal group. Method Multilevel factor analysis is utilized to determine uncorrelated meaningful factors and their respective weights using Mplus software from the nested dataset consists of values of nine domains of 1096 individuals collected from 19 villages. A multilevel multi-factor index is constructed using the weights of these factors. The qualities of the lives of different households and different villages are assessed using the scores of this index. Results Three different factors are identified at household as well as village levels. The quality of life at Households and Village levels are classified as poor, low, moderate, good, and excellent based on five quintiles of the scores of the multi-factor index, and the contribution of each domain in this classification is ascertained. Discussion This study finds that at household as well as at village levels, the quality of life of the individuals of this tribal population increases with an increase in education, income, and occupation status which make them lead a healthy life and also make them to find time and money to spend on recreation. Infrastructure is not important at the household level but not so at the village level. Conclusion The main purpose of developing this kind of multi-factor index at different levels is to provide a tool for tribal development based on realistic data that can be used to monitor the key factors that encompass the social, health, environmental, and economic dimensions of quality of lives at the household and community levels of these tribal people.

Modern technology makes it possible to keep more sick, extremely small, and vulnerable neonates alive. Many neonatologists in the Netherlands believe they should be concerned not only about the rate of survival of their patients, but also about the way the graduates of their care do, in fact, survive beyond the neonatal period. In most cases, we use all available methods to keep newborns alive. However, in some instances there is great concern about the quality of life, if the newborn should survive; here questions do arise about continuing or withholding treatment. In this commentary, I present my impression of the opinions held by a majority of practicing neonatologists in the Netherlands, as well as some personal thoughts and ideas. Recently, a committee convened by the Ministers of Justice and Health in the Netherlands issued an official report regarding the practice of euthanasia and the rules of medical practice when treatment is withheld.1 In this report of more than 250 pages, only 2 pages focus on the newborn. The following conclusions were made in this small section of the report. In almost one half of the instances of a fatal outcome in a neonatal intensive care unit in the Netherlands, discussions about sustaining or withholding treatment did take place at some stage of the hospital stay. A consideration of the future quality of life was always included in the discussion. The committee agreed with doctors interviewed for the report that there are circumstances in which continuation of intensive care treatment is not necessarily in the best interest of a neonate.
