An exercise carried out to weight the seriousness of perceived health problems using Thurstone's method of paired comparisons is reported. For the purposes of illustration, the sleep section of the Nottingham Health Profile containing 5 statements is used. The calculation of the scale values associated with each statement is described and a new method of deriving weights from the scale values is proposed. The judgement of comparisons was found acceptable to interviewees. The applicability of the paired comparison techniques of the field of health is discussed.
报告了一项使用瑟斯顿配对比较法来衡量感知到的健康问题严重性的练习。为便于说明，使用了包含5条陈述的诺丁汉健康概况中的睡眠部分。描述了与每条陈述相关的量表值的计算方法，并提出了一种从量表值中得出权重的新方法。发现受访者对比较判断是可接受的。讨论了配对比较技术在健康领域的适用性。
