Description
Henry Bailey and co-authors publish fresh population norms for a standard health questionnaire in Trinidad and Tobago, and measure how health is shared across society. Their study appeared in 2024. Nearly three thousand adults answered the five-question EQ-5D survey in 2022 and 2023. Average health scored high, with a mean index of 0.921, yet the averages hide gaps. The team broke results down by age, sex, schooling, income, ethnicity, marriage, and work.
Inequality was quantified with a standard index, and problem rates on each question were compared across groups. The new norms were then set beside a 2012 survey scored on the same scale. The authors say such baselines let clinics and policymakers judge whether new programs narrow or widen the country's health gaps.
