‘Nothing about us without us!’ Valuing Child Health Utility 9D health states in a young adolescent sample: A pilot study to assess the feasibility of best worst discrete choice, standard gamble and time trade off methods

Valuing Child Health Utility 9D Health States with Young Adults: Insights from a Time Trade Off Study.

OBJECTIVES In contrast to the proliferation of studies incorporating health state values from adults of all ages, relatively few studies have reported upon the application of the time trade off (TTO) approach to generate health state values from populations of younger adults. This study sought to employ a conventional TTO approach to obtain values for a selection of Child Health Utility 9D (CHU...

Impact of caregiver and parenting status on time trade-off and standard gamble utility scores for health state descriptions

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of caregiver status on time trade-off (TTO) and standard gamble (SG) health state utility scores. Respondents were categorized as caregivers if they reported that either children or adults depended on them for care. METHODS This study was a secondary analysis of data from three studies in which general population samples rated hea...

Health Auctions: a Valuation Experiment (HAVE) study protocol

INTRODUCTION Quality-adjusted life years are derived using health state utility weights which adjust for the relative value of living in each health state compared with living in perfect health. Various techniques are used to estimate health state utility weights including time-trade-off and standard gamble. These methods have exhibited limitations in terms of complexity, validity and reliabili...
