Abstract
Chapter 1 briefly described the conceptual underpinning and the development of EQ5D so that the reader will be aware that in developing EQ-5D, the EuroQol Group had a number of specific goals. EQ-5D was originally designed to be a self-administered questionnaire, to be used in postal surveys. There are many instances, however, when self-reported completion of a paper-and-pencil questionnaire is either impractical or not possible. Self-report may not be possible because the respondent is physically incapacitated or cognitively impaired. Administration of paper-and-pencil versions of a questionnaire is sometimes not the most efficient method of data collection and may not be practical in large multi-centre trials. If we alter the mode of administration of a questionnaire, why is this change important?
