ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
The EQ Health and Wellbeing (EQ-HWB) is a novel measure that conceptually overlaps with the 5-level EQ-5D (EQ-5D-5L) while capturing broader dimensions of health and well-being. This study aimed to explore the extent to which the EQ-HWB and EQ-5D-5L capture overlapping or complementary constructs and to explore the discriminative ability of the EQ-HWB Short version (EQ-HWB-S) as a multiattribute utility instrument in the Australian setting.METHODS:
A secondary analysis of data from a nationally representative cross-sectional survey of 2002 Australian adults was performed. The survey included socioeconomic questions and health characteristics and the EQ-HWB and EQ-5D-5L instruments. Convergent and known-group validity were evaluated through Spearman rank correlation and multivariable regression analyses, respectively. An exploratory factor analysis was also performed to explore the underlying constructs of the 2 measures.RESULTS:
Correlation coefficients varied from moderate to strong (rs ≥ 0.40) between the EQ-5D-5L and the corresponding EQ-HWB dimensions (all P < .001). Based on the exploratory factor analysis, both instruments measure similar underlying constructs, with the EQ-HWB capturing broader aspects of well-being. The known-group analysis demonstrated the relative discriminative ability of the EQ-HWB-S in capturing broader aspects of health and well-being.CONCLUSIONS:
The EQ-HWB was at least moderately correlated with the EQ-5D-5L in overlapping domains/dimensions and demonstrated greater sensitivity in participants with mental health problems versus the EQ-5D-5L. Our findings support future research exploring the value of the EQ-HWB-S as a multiattribute utility instrument for the general Australian population.Palabras clave
