"Imagine that you are told that you have 10 years left to live. In connection with this you are also told that you can choose to live these 10 years in your current health state or that you can choose to give up some life years to live for a shorter period in full health. Indicate with a cross on the line the number of years in full health that you think is of equal value to 10 years in your current health state"1..
Other tools that are used to determine health utility are the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), the Standard Gamble Method, The EQ-5D , the Health Utilities Index (HUI)etc. REFERENCES 1.
