Are generic measures suitable for capturing HRQoL of informal carers?

Faller et al. explored this and found:
👉 Generic tools, including the EQ-5D-5L, are valid for carers
👉 Carer-specific instruments add value by capturing broader impacts

Our study findings highlight lower quality of life in patients with anxiety and/or depression. These findings will inform decision-making for mental health interventions in resource-limited settings.

Fascinating listen featuring @LidiaEngel on ABC's Conversation Hour, tackling the thorny question of how we can place a value on informal dementia care, and how we can better support carers @DementiaAus https://t.co/sNtjrKO3gL

Grateful for my time at ISPOR 2024 in Atlanta, Georgia! Learned a lot from talks and posters, met new people, and shared my PhD work. Big thanks to @ISPORorg , @Monash_SPHPM , and @EuroQol for their support!

Task sharing to lay health workers is a cost-effective approach for treating depression in LMICs according to our systematic review. However, evidence on cost-effectiveness of other treatments for depression is mixed. Learn more from our article: https://t.co/Ht8wH4DlFY

Using a smaller sample to develop the EQ-5D-5L value set in resource-constrained settings, our study suggests its feasibility and developed the value set for Uganda.
Great team work! @thanzilaonse @EuroQol
