The measurement and valuation of health and quality of life
CHERE’s quality of life research focuses on both the measurement and valuation of health and quality of life for use in the economic evaluation of health technologies. Our measurement focused research uses psychometric methods to develop new measures of quality of life and to examine existing instruments. Our valuation focused research includes the methodological development and application of preference elicitation methods such as discrete choice experiments (DCE) and time trade off to develop value sets for use in economic evaluation. Recent projects include the development of an EQ-5D-5L value set for Australia, a comparison of DCE and time trade off methods for eliciting values, the development of a new version of the SF-6D, and a large scale comparison of DCE design approaches.
