Abstract

Despite growing interest in the measurement of health-related quality of life, no single means of achieving such measurement has so far emerged as a standard. Researchers from 5 European and Scandinavian countries have jointly developed a common generic measure. The Euroqol questionnaire was designed as a self-administered instrument to complement other forms of quality of life measurement. A postal survey of some 1300 patients in General Practice was carried out to check the feasibility of collecting valuations for health states using the Euroqol questionnaire. This paper describes the results of that survey which revealed significant differences in values for more severe health states, particularly associated with respondents’ level of educational achievement.
