A difficult task in designing indices of health and measures of health output is deriving a scale of valuations of a set of defined states of health or illness. A scale derived by structured interview of 70 subjects and tested on a further 50 subjects is described. The method aims for a ratio scale and the extent to which this has actually been achieved is discussed. Scale values appear to be independent of the sex, age, socio-economic group, religious belief and past medical history of the subject, but have some association with current experience of illness. There is agreement between scale values obtained from medical nurses and patients and agreement between the different values obtained from psychiatric nurses and patients.
设计健康指数和健康产出衡量指标的一项艰巨任务是得出一套既定健康或疾病状态的评估标准。本文描述了通过对70名受试者进行结构化访谈得出并在另外50名受试者身上进行测试的一个标准。该方法旨在得出一个比率量表，并讨论了实际达成这一目标的程度。量表分值似乎与受试者的性别、年龄、社会经济群体、宗教信仰和既往病史无关，但与当前的患病体验有一定关联。医学护士和患者得出的量表分值之间存在一致性，精神科护士和患者得出的不同分值之间也存在一致性。
