Focusing on the assessment of health utility, the core component of quality adjusted life years (QALYs) calculation, the author briefly compares the utility values between the people in China and Chinese Singaporeans, as well as the values between the general population and the people with diabetes, revealing how and why the values differ between them. The author also explicitly describes in this book how to establish scoring functions to yield utility values; and how to compare different utility values, with the intention to generate new knowledge on measuring health utility and provide health service researchers with useful tools and guidance for obtaining the values.
