EuroQol launches new whiteboard animation on the EQ VAS
EuroQol is happy to announce the launch of a new whiteboard animation about the EQ VAS (visual analogue scale) element of EQ-5D. The animation explains what the EQ VAS is and how it can be used at both individual and population level, through examples of respondents completing the questionnaire. It notes how data derived using the EQ VAS complement responses on the descriptive system questionnaire and the index score. The animation also provides a top-level overview of potential applications. We would like to thank Dr Bas Janssen, Prof. Jeff Johnson and Prof. David Parkin for their expert input during the development of this animation.
The EQ VAS animation is now available to view on Vimeo and YouTube. The static ‘big picture’ of the animation is shown below. A number of other whiteboard animations about the EQ-5D, as well as other educational resources can be found on the EuroQol website.
