Description
Abdulrasheed Hassan Yusuf and co-authors published a journal article in 2026 creating the first Nigerian value set for a standard health survey, EQ-5D-5L. A value set turns survey answers into a single health score based on what people in that country prefer. Such scores guide fair spending choices in health care.
Interviewers spoke face-to-face with 1,200 adults drawn from 12 states by age, sex, and schooling quotas. Two kinds of rating tasks were combined in the chosen model. The best health state scored 1, and the worst scored minus 0.733. Pain and discomfort mattered most to Nigerians, followed by anxiety and depression, then mobility. The authors offer the set for policy use in Nigeria and West Africa.
