US VALUATION OF THE EUROQOL EQ-5D HEALTH STATES

描述：（来自赠款摘要的逐字记录） 本研究的主要目的是1）建立基于人群的 在美国使用的EQ-5D的243种健康状态的偏好值和2） 将普通人群的EQ-5D健康状态值与普通人群的EQ-5D健康状态值进行比较 美国两个最大的少数民族人口：西班牙裔和非西班牙裔。 西班牙裔黑人 本申请是对建议的直接回应 由美国公共卫生服务的健康成本效益小组和 医学将建立基于美国的基于偏好的健康加权系统 状态测量，包括EQ-5D。 这项研究的具体目标是： 1)通过以下方式确定EQ-5D的45种健康状态的偏好值 时间权衡（TTO）演习在美国一般样本中进行 两个少数民族的健康状况比较 两个少数群体的价值观与美国普通民众的价值观; 3） 根据为45个健康状况收集的数据， EQ-5D中代表美国一般人群的全套243个健康状态 人群; 4）将美国人群的EQ-5D健康状态值与 以前推导出的英国值;和5）建立美国 通过EQ-5D测量的自我报告健康状况的人群标准。

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.
