Survey questions covered subjects of interest such as wellbeing, health, satisfaction, and happiness using standardized questionnaires namely: VAS, ICECAP-A, FSSQ, and SWLS. What was found was that health (VAS) and capability (ICECAP-A) and income had a positive and significant effect on SWB. The monetary value of one QALY and one YFC were 35 886 EUR and 52 883 EUR respectively. In terms of population norms, for the overall sample, the average ICECAP-A and VAS score is 0.7 (SD=2.23).","abstract_html":"Subjective well-being approach, a non-preference-based method, has been steadily gaining popularity for valuing non-market goods like quality-adjusted life year (QALYs).
