VIGNETTES FOR HEALTH STATE DESCRIPTIONS
I will now read to you some descriptions of persons with varying levels of difficulties in different areas of health. I would like to know how you view each of these descriptions and rate how much of a problem or difficulty the person described has in that area of health in the same way that you described your health to me. While giving the rating, think of the person as someone who is of your age and background.
Vision, Sleep and Energy
[Noemi] falls asleep easily at night, but two nights a week she wakes up in the middle of the night and cannot go back to sleep for the rest of the night. On
these days she is exhausted at work and cannot concentrate on her job.
Literal question
In the last 30 days, how much of a problem did you have due to not feeling rested and refreshed during the day (e.g. feeling tired, not having energy)?
