It contains eight numerical rating scales questions (0-10) and a memo field based on the patients' own beliefs about their condition. In some circumstances it may be possible to compute an overall score which represents the degree to which the illness is perceived as threatening or benign.

It is applicable to a wide range of health conditions. EQ-5D is designed for self-completion by respondents and is ideally suited for use in postal surveys, in clinics, and in face-to-face interviews and takes only a few minutes to complete. The EQ-5D-3L essentially consists of the EQ-5D descriptive system and the EQ visual analogue scale (EQ VAS). The EQ-5D-3L descriptive system comprises the following 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 3 levels: no problems, some problems, extreme problems. The EQ VAS records the respondent's self-rated health on a vertical, visual analogue scale where the endpoints are labelled 'Best imaginable health state' and 'Worst imaginable health state'.

There are 2 or 3 questions for each section. Scoring within each section is from 0 (without any difficulty) to 3 (unable to do). For each section the score given to that section is the worst score within the section, i.e. if one question is scored 1 and another 2, then the score for the section is 2. In addition, if an aide or device is used or if help is required from another individual, then the minimum score for that section is 2. If the section score is already 2 or more then no modification is made. The 8 scores of the 8 sections are summed and divided by 8. If one section is not completed by a subject, then the summed score would be divided by 7.

These different perceptions and coping strategies might affect the way the individual chooses to handle the disease and seek health care assistance, which altogether eventually may affect the course of the illness.\n\nStudy participation besides reassurance, could be hypothesized to induce beneficial outcomes for the patients, but is it reasonable to expect an effect of study participation regardless of study intervention, design and group allocation?
