In the course of developing a standardised, non-disease-specific instrument for describing and valuing health states (based on the items in Table 1), the EuroQol Group (whose members are listed in the Appendix) conducted postal surveys in England, The Netherlands and Sweden which indicate a striking similarity in the relative valuations attached to 14 different health states. The data were collected using a visual analogue scale similar to a thermometer. The EuroQol instrument is intended to complement other quality-of-life measures and to facilitate the collection of a common data set for reference purposes. Others interested in participating in the extension of this work are invited to contact the EuroQol Group.
在开发一种用于描述和评估健康状态的标准化、非疾病特异性工具（基于表1中的项目）的过程中，欧洲生活质量小组（其成员列于附录）在英格兰、荷兰和瑞典进行了邮政调查，结果表明对14种不同健康状态的相对评估存在显著相似性。数据收集采用了类似于温度计的视觉模拟量表。欧洲生活质量工具旨在补充其他生活质量测量方法，并便于收集通用数据集以供参考。欢迎其他有兴趣参与此项工作扩展的人士与欧洲生活质量小组联系。
