We developed a quality-of-life method for valuing changes in health status. Our model determines changes in health attributes for different illnesses and then estimates the dollar value of the corresponding welfare losses. We used our quality-of-life approach to estimate willingness to pay to avoid asthma, a headache, a cough, bronchitis, and arthritis. Estimates derived using our method are similar to those obtained from more expensive and restrictive traditional methods.
我们开发了一种用于评估健康状况变化的生活质量方法。我们的模型确定不同疾病的健康属性变化,然后估计相应福利损失的货币价值。我们使用生活质量方法来估计为避免哮喘、头痛、咳嗽、支气管炎和关节炎而支付的意愿。使用我们的方法得出的估计值与通过更昂贵且限制更多的传统方法获得的估计值相似。
