Valuing SF-6D Health States Using a Discrete Choice Experiment

Conclusion s. DCEs can be used to investigate preferences for health profiles and to estimate utility weights for multi-attribute utility instruments.

The comparability of DCE results to those using other elicitation methods for estimating utility weights for quality-adjusted life-year calculations should be further investigated.
