The original Health Economics Questionnaire (HEQ) is a comprehensive patient self-completed health economics questionnaire measuring health and social care resource use, medication, absenteeism from work and presenteeism, other productivity impacts as well as socio-demographic background information. It was developed in 2016 based on several years of international experience with within-trial (mental health) economic evaluations and originally implemented in the multi-country European PreDicT study.
To allow for resource-use measurement in times of pandemics, the original Health Economics Questionnaire (HEQ) has been updated and complemented with a COVID-19 resource-use measurement module (Module 7) in 2020. The HEQ COVID-19 now both reflects the changed service provision landscape and having direct information on any COVID-19 related service use. In Module 7, a set of new questions have been added to capture further information about COVID-19 infections, self-isolation and related changes in health services use and employment status, with the purpose of understanding what resource use can be directly attributed to the on-going COVID-19 public health crisis rather than the investigated trial treatment or mental illness. The HEQ Covid-19 has been implemented in the UK-based PAX-BD and PAX-D studies.
Currently it is available in two languages: English, German.
Note: All existing versions of the HEQ will not be updated in the future. Instead, we encourage the use of the comprehensive new PECUNIA resource use measurement (RUM) instrument developed as part of the European research project PECUNIA (2018-2021). The PECUNIA RUM is an internationally standardised, harmonised and validated, generic, self-reported modular instrument that measures resource use in all relevant sectors for costing from a societal perspective in the adult population. Further information and access details can be found on https://www.pecunia-project.eu/tools/rum-instrument.
