Valuing health related quality of life in adolescents from their own perspective: a potential EQ-5D-Y-3L value set for Spain

Abstract

There is a growing interest in measuring youth preferences for decision making. The EQ-5D-Y-3L is generic preference-based instrument developed by the EuroQol Group that is appropriate for children and adolescents. Recent evidence demonstrates the need of specific value sets for the EQ-5D-Y-3L. Our study analyses the validity of DCE responses in adolescents and explores a potential methodology to obtain an adolescents’ value set in Spain from their own perspective.
