Preference weights for the spectrum of alcohol use in the U.S. population.
One barrier to research has been the lack of preference weights needed to calculate Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALYs). Preference weights can be estimated from measures of health-related quality of life (HRQOL). The objective of this study was to describe preference weights for the full spectrum of alcohol use. It concluded that self-reported alcohol consumption may not be associated with preference weights.
