Abstract

If one accepts that health is a reasonable thing to quantify, measures of health might be used to screen populations (although these non-specific measures may give little insight into the cause of the health problem). If carefully constructed, they might be able to take account of the trade-off between the beneficial and harmful effects of interventions and therefore be suitable as global outcome measures in evaluative studies.
