Questions and instructions

Question pretext

Health State Valuations
Descriptions:
The questions I am going to ask you now are about different states of health. I will present several different states, and I want you to try to imagine what it would be like to live in those states.
If you look at these cards you will see that each card describes one health state. Let me begin by reading each card out loud (READ EACH CARD AND HAND IT TO RESPONDENT). Now, for each state, I am going to ask you to describe what you imagine that state would be like in terms of different aspects of health.
Please try to imagine what it would be like to live in the following health state: Below the knee amputation in one leg, with no prosthesis but with basic crutches available.

Literal question

Overall, how much difficulty would a person in this state have with
moving around?
