Abstract
- The article reflects on the role of direct method in health utility elicitation. It is said that the important advantages of indirect methods in ease of use and comparability of results across studies may be tempered by their limited descriptive ability to capture all health attributes of a condition. It is also said that the indirect measures exclude the altruistic component of spillover effects.
