Valuing health-related quality of life using a hybrid approach: Tunisian value set for the EQ-5D-3L.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To develop a value set for EQ-5D-3L based on the societal preferences of the Tunisian population.

Methods

A representative sample of the Tunisian general population was obtained through multistage quota sampling involving age, gender and region. Participants (n = 327), aged above 20 years, were interviewed using the EuroQol Portable Valuation Technology in face-to-face computer-assisted interviews. Participants completed 10 composite time trade-off (cTTO) and 10 discrete choice experiments (DCE) tasks. Utility values for the EQ-5D-3L health states were estimated using regression modeling. The cTTO and DCE data were analyzed using linear and conditional logistic regression modeling, respectively. Multiple hybrid models were computed to analyze the combined data and
