Is the EQ-5D fit for purpose in mental health?

John Brazier. Br J Psychiatry. 2010 Nov.

Abstract

The EQ-5D is a widely used questionnaire for calculating quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) for assessing cost-effectiveness in healthcare. It reflects the impact of common mental health conditions such as mild to moderate depression but seems to be more problematic for use in people with psychotic and severe and complex non-psychotic disorders.
