Abstract

The Health Utilities Index is a generic multi-attribute preference-based system for assessing health-related quality of life. It has been used in cost-effectiveness evaluations in North America and in international multicentre studies but was not available in France. After cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the HUI3 classification for the French population, the purpose of this survey was to derive population weights for the French instrument. Face-to-face interviews were conducted on a representative sample (n=365) of the French population. Visual Analogue Scale and Standard Gamble techniques were used to measure preferences. Based on the multi-attribute utility theory, collected data provided utility functions for person-mean and median.
