Valuing child and adolescent-specific preference-based measures
The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of the ethical, practical and theoretical issues and implications arising from the use of a joint or mixed sample of adolescents and adults to value child and adolescent health states.
This may be informative for considerations around the choice of population for the valuation of child and adolescent-specific preference-based measures that could be used in submissions to NICE.
