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.
