Objectives. the objectives of this study were to elicit health utility scores for moderate alzheimer's disease (ad) using members of the general public. methods. five-hundred canadians were chosen randomly to participate in a telephone interview. the eq-5d was administered to estimate the health utility score for respondents' current health status (i.e.,no ad) and for a hypothetical moderate ad health state. regression analyses were conducted to explain the perceived utility decrement associated with ad. results. the mean age of the respondents was 51 years,60% were female,and 42% knew someone with ad. respondents' mean eq-5d scores for their current health status and a hypothetical moderate ad were 0.873 (sd: 0.138) and 0.638 (sd: 0.194),respectively (p < 0.001). age,gender,and education were significant factors explaining this decrement in utility. conclusion. members of the general public may serve as an alternative to patients and caregivers in the elicitation of health-related quality of life in ad. copyright © 2011 jean-eric tarride et al.
