Evaluating quality of life and well-being of university students, with the EQ5D-5L, the WHO-5 Well-Being Index, and the ICECAP-A questionnaires to gain baseline data

The study presents a comprehensive baseline assessment to provide norms for university students of quality of life and well-being studying health and biomedical sciences. ICECAP-A provided a broader capability-based perspective, supporting its future use in economic evaluations of interventions. These baseline data support the need for targeted support strategies and can inform future evaluations of intervention cost-effectiveness and resource allocation in academic and public health contexts. Our results should have broader implications across academic settings.
