Abstract

Our study suggests that women in the New Zealand general public are able to consistently evaluate and value case descriptions of advanced breast cancer using either direct methods (VAS or TTO) or the EQ-5D health state classification system. Some of the valuations elicited using the four methods differ quantitatively, especially for hypercalcaemia. As our sample size was modest (50) and it turned out to be unrepresentative of the New Zealand female population, this study serves as a pilot study. Copyright Adis Data Information BV 2006
