disability weight (dw)

How are Disability Weights Determined?

DW values are usually derived from population surveys, expert consultations, and literature reviews. One common approach is to use health state descriptions and ask respondents to rate these states using a scale or a comparative method. The Global Burden of Disease Study is one of the most comprehensive sources of disability weights, employing methods like paired comparison and visual analog scales to gather data.
