EQ Health and Wellbeing EQ-HWB: A Psychometric Assessment Across 6 Conditions and the General Population in the United Kingdom.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The EQ Health and Wellbeing (EQ-HWB) tools have been developed to measure and value outcomes of both health and social care interventions, including those of carers, in a manner suitable for use in economic evaluation. The aim of this article is to add to the body of psychometric evidence for the performance of EQ-HWB, and its shorter version EQ-HWB-9, by assessing construct validity and reliability.

Methods

A sample of patients (n = 767) across 6 broadly defined health conditions and a sample of the general population (n = 302) completed the EQ-HWB measures alongside other measures. Convergent validity was assessed using Spearman and Pearson correlations. Known-group validity was investigated by using several self-reported variables and disease specific questions
