How do children understand and respond to the EQ-5D-Y-3L? A mixed methods study in a community-based sample of 6–12-year-olds
Children in the general community may have different perceptions of HRQoL when responding to the EQ-5D-Y-3L possibly due to their limited experience with health-related challenges. The retrospective think-aloud approach adopted highlighted the relatively higher prevalence of response issues in the younger children (ages < 11 years), indicating the need for careful interpretation of self-reported HRQoL using the current version of the EQ-5D-Y-3L in this population.
