This study demonstrates that a brief, 7-dimension index weighted by health impact performed as well as the 31-item IWQoL-Lite and better than the EQ-5D-3L. These findings demonstrate the potential value of the brief PB-WRQL prototype index and support its further development using preference weights to reflect the current generation's needs and concerns.
