Measuring Carer Outcomes using the EQ-5D

This Core Knowledge Panel starts with an introduction to carer outcomes and its measurement by Lidia Engel (Monash University). After this overview, Jan Faller (Monash University) will present a review of EQ-5D validation studies in informal carers as well as their own psychometric findings. Valeriia Sokolova (Monash University) will present psychometric evidence collected from informal carers of persons living with dementia. After their presentations, Maja Kuharic (Northwestern University) and Abeer Ahmad Hamdan Al Rabayah (University for Health Sciences, Medical Informatics and Technology [UMIT] Tirol) will narrate their first hand experiences with carer outcomes and serve as discussants. After these presentations, attendees will ask questions and open discussion more broadly. The Core Knowledge Panels are tailored for early career researchers (ECRs) interested in becoming more involved in EuroQol research.
