Assessing the Use of a Feedback Module to Model EQ-5D-5L Health States Values in Hong Kong.

ABSTRACT:

Background

An international valuation protocol exists for obtaining societal values for each of the 3125 health states of the five-level EuroQol-five dimensions (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaire. A feedback module (FM) that can be related to theoretical models used in behavioral economics was recently included in this protocol.

Objectives

Our objective was to assess the impact of using an FM to estimate an EQ-5D-5L value set in Hong Kong.

Methods

EQ-5D-5L health states were elicited using a composite time trade-off (C-TTO) and a discrete-choice (DC) experiment. Use of the FM according to participant characteristics and the impact of the FM on the number of inconsistent C-TTO responses were assessed. We employed a main-effects hybrid model that combined data from both elicitati
