US VALUATION OF THE EUROQOL EQ-5D HEALTH STATES

描述：(摘自格兰特摘要) 这项研究的主要目标是1)建立以人口为基础的 EQ-5D的243个健康状态的首选项值在美国和2) 比较一般人群的EQ-5D健康状态值 以美国最大的两个少数族裔人口衡量：拉美裔和非 西班牙裔黑人。此应用程序直接响应建议 由美国公共卫生服务的健康和成本效益小组 医学将为基于偏好的健康建立美国加权系统 地位措施，包括EQ-5D。这项研究的具体目的是： 1)通过以下方式确定EQ-5D的45个健康状态的优先级值 在一般美国样本中进行的时间权衡(TTO)练习 2)比较两个少数民族亚群的健康状况 这两个少数群体的价值观与美国总体人口的价值观；3) 根据为45个健康状态收集的数据，为 在EQ-5D中代表普通美国的全套243个健康状态 人口；4)比较美国基于人口的EQ-5D健康状态值与 以前为英国派生的值；以及5)建立美国 由EQ-5D测量的自我报告健康状况的人群常模。

DESCRIPTION: (Verbatim from grant Abstract) The primary objective of this study is 1) to establish population-based preference values for the EQ-5D's 243 health states for use in the US and 2) to compare EQ-5D health state values of the general population with those measured in the two largest minority populations in the US: Hispanics and non- Hispanic blacks. This application is in direct response to the recommendation by the US Public Health Service's Panel on Cost-Effectiveness in Health and Medicine to establish US-based weighting systems for preference-based health status measures, including the EQ-5D. The specific aims of the study are to: 1) determine preference values for 45 of the EQ-5D's health states through time trade-off (TTO) exercises conducted in a sample of the general US population and the two minority subpopulations; 2) compare the health state values of the two minority groups with those of the general US population; 3) based on the data collected for the 45 health states, impute values for the full set of 243 health states represented in the EQ-5D for the general US population; 4) compare the US population-based EQ-5D health state values with previously derived values for the United Kingdom; and 5)establish US population norms for self-reported health status as measured by the EQ-5D.
