  • Classifying Function for Health Outcome and Quality-of-life Evaluation

    John P Anderson, James W Bush et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1986

    Validity assessment and the underreporting of dysfunction have been major problems in health-related quality-of-life measurement, including collecting data for analysis by the General Health Policy Model, using the Quality of Well-being scale (QWB). This analysis compares the results of self- versus interviewer modes of measurement and short, direct-answer questions versus probing algorithms in the QWB. The comparisons are made in terms of 1) cor…

  • Counterintuitive??? Preferences in Health-Related Quality-of-Life Measurement

    James W Bush, John P Anderson et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1982

    The published preferences for scale steps in a health-related quality-of-life scale have been noted to be contrary to some prior assumptions about their rank ordering. The differences noted are actually statistically nonsignificant, and the observed ordering has a clear intuitive explanation. Several alternative explanations, including vagueness in the case descriptions, inaccuracy in the scaling method, the presence of interactions in the subjec…

  • Health Status Index

    Robert M Kaplan, James W Bush et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1979

    Levels of Well-Being are social preferences, or weights that members of society associate with time-specific states of function. A Weighted Life Expectancy, which can be used to measure program outputs, is created by summing the levels across diverse cases and multiplying them by probable transitions (prognoses) among the states and levels. This operation requires however, that the Levels of Well-Being be measured on underlying metric scale. The …

  • Toward an Operational Definition of Health

    Donald L Patrick, James W Bush et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health and Social…1973Cited by: 23References: 4

    The social construct of health is composed of two dimensions, function level and prognosis. Differences among levels of function are primarily value judgments about conformity to social norms of well-being and role performance. Twenty-nine operationally-defined levels span a universe of possible case descriptions of function status. Sixty-two nurses and graduate students, using the method of equal-appearing intervals, assigned values to randomly …
