Indonesia youth population norms for EQ-5D-Y-3 L, EQ-5D-Y-5 L and the PedsQL generic core scale: lower health related quality of life relates to high economic status and stress.

Background: The availability of population norms from generic health-related quality of life (HRQoL) instruments can support the interpretation of health outcomes. This study aimed to provide Indonesian youth population norms for the generic HRQoL measures: EQ-5D-Y-3 L, EQ-5D-Y-5 L, and the PedsQL Generic Core Scales. In addition the opportunity arising from the generation of a large representative sample was taken to explore the relationships between HRQoL, health, and socio-economic factors.

Estimating an EQ-5D-Y-3L Value Set for Indonesia by Mapping the DCE onto TTO Values.

Background And Objectives: Methods for estimating health values in adult populations are well developed, but lag behind in children. The EuroQol standard protocol to arrive at value sets for the youth version of the EQ-5D-Y-3L combines discrete choice experiments with ten composite time trade-off values. Whether ten composite time trade-off values are sufficient remains to be seen and this is one of the reasons the protocol allows for experimental expansion.

EQ-5D-Y-3L and EQ-5D-Y-5L proxy report: psychometric performance and agreement with self-report.

Background: Self-report is the standard for measuring people's health-related quality of life (HRQoL), including children. However, in certain circumstances children cannot report their own health. For this reason, children's HRQoL measures often provide both a self-report and a proxy-report form.

Test-Retest Reliability of EQ-5D-5L Valuation Techniques: The Composite Time Trade-Off and Discrete Choice Experiments.

Objectives: To explore the test-retest reliability of the composite time trade-off (C-TTO) and discrete choice experiment (DCE) used in the Indonesian five-level EuroQol five-dimensional questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) valuation study.

Methods: A representative sample aged 17 years and older was recruited from the Indonesian general population by stratified quota sampling with respect to residence, sex, and age. Trained interviewers conducted computer-assisted face-to-face interviews using the EuroQol valuation technology.

Living in uncertainty due to floods and pollution: the health status and quality of life of people living on an unhealthy riverbank.

Background: People living on the banks of polluted rivers with yearly flooding lived in impoverished and physically unhealthy circumstances. However, they were reluctant to move or be relocated to other locations where better living conditions were available. This study aimed to investigate the health status, quality of life (QoL), happiness, and life satisfaction of the people who were living on the banks of one of the main rivers in Jakarta, Indonesia, the Ciliwung.

Quality of life of the Indonesian general population: Test-retest reliability and population norms of the EQ-5D-5L and WHOQOL-BREF.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to obtain population norms and to assess test-retest reliability of EQ-5D-5L and WHOQOL-BREF for the Indonesian population.

Methods: A representative sample of 1056 people aged 17-75 years was recruited from the Indonesian general population. We used a multistage stratified quota sampling method with respect to residence, gender, age, education level, religion and ethnicity.

The Indonesian EQ-5D-5L Value Set.

Background: The EQ-5D is one of the most used generic health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL) instruments worldwide. To make the EQ-5D suitable for use in economic evaluations, a societal-based value set is needed. Indonesia does not have such a value set.

Employing quality control and feedback to the EQ-5D-5L valuation protocol to improve the quality of data collection.

Objectives: In valuing health states using generic questionnaires such as EQ-5D, there are unrevealed issues with the quality of the data collection. The aims were to describe the problems encountered during valuation and to evaluate a quality control report and subsequent retraining of interviewers in improving this valuation.

Methods: Data from the first 266 respondents in an EQ-5D-5L valuation study were used.
