This article presents information about the development and evaluation of the SF-36 Health Survey, a 36-item generic measure of health status.

A brief history of the International Quality of Life Assessment (IQOLA) Project is also included.

This paper reports on the findings of a study to derive a preference-based measure of health from the SF-36 for use in economic evaluation. The SF-36 was revised into a six-dimensional health state classification called the SF-6D. A sample of 249 states defined by the SF-6D have been valued by a representative sample of 611 members of the UK general population, using standard gamble. Models are...
