Project Summary

Economic evaluation can be a tool to assist policy makers in resource allocation decision making. In cost-utility analysis, health outcomes resulting from health interventions are measured using several methods, for example, Quality-Adjusted Life Year (QALY). The QALY is a single index score in which both health-related quality of life and life expectancy are captured. It is recommended that, to use the results of cost-utility analysis to help with a resource allocation decision, preferences should be elicited from the relevant local population. To date, there are no preference scores elicited from the general Thai population. The research is going to generate Thai-based preference scores over health states described by the EQ-5D measure (the Thai version). The preference elicitation methods are Ranking, the Visual Analog Scale (VA S) and the Time Trade-off (TTO). Preferences will be derived from a sample randomly selected from the representative sample of the general Thai population. Statistical models will be used to estimate preferences for all 243 health states from observed data.
