註釋

Several studies have sought to determine the monetary value of health gains expressed as Quality Adjusted Life Years gained, predominantly using Willingness to Pay approaches. However, Willingness to Pay has a number of recognised problems, most notably its insensitivity to scope. This paper presents an alternative approach to estimate the monetary value of a QALY, which is based on the Time Trade-Off method. Moreover, it presents the results of an online study conducted in the Netherlands exploring the feasibility of this novel approach. The results seem promising, but also highlight a number of methodological problems with this approach, most notably non-trading and the elicitation of negative values. Additional research is necessary to try to overcome these problems and to determine the potential of this new approach.
