Experience of health

How people experience their own health influences the role they want and can take in the healthcare system. We have used a family of instruments to help people describe and value their own health. The data below shows the average experience of health for each profile. The measurements include a rating of overall current health, rating of pain intensity in rest and in movement, and a rating of experienced anxiety. These measurements have been used for over 30 years in clinical trials and real-world settings. For more information about the measurements you may visit https://euroqol.org/ or the original research papers (see references).

Each profile has their own unique experience of health, coping behaviour, and health communication preferences and competences. You can compare each profile on these aspects by clicking the buttons below.
