Vignettes make self reported questionnaire comparable
Interpretation of self reported measures of health may be improved by methods that account for different expectations of health across individuals, communities, and populations. Salomon and colleagues (p 258) report on a new approach using anchoring vignettes linked to self assessment, which aims to detect and adjust for differences in expectations between individuals. They found that vignettes may help identify differences in health expectation across age groups and countries, and may make self reports more comparable.
