This report is concerned with a range of issues around the development, testing and use of condition-specific preference-based measures (CSPBMs) of health for estimating quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) for use in economic evaluation of health-care interventions. Although the focus is on CSPBMs, many of the issues raised are relevant to preference-based measures in general, including other types of population-specific measures and generic measures. We begin this chapter by providing the rationale for using CSPBMs for this purpose, and then we outline the key stages of their development and set out the key methodological issues addressed in the report.
