MSR73 Development and Preliminary Validation of Brief Participant-Reported Questionnaire Modules to Measure the Use of Informal Care, Social Care and Personal Expenses

Resource-use measurement is essential for assessing cost-effectiveness within trial-based economic evaluations. ModRUM, a generic, modular resource-use measure designed for collecting self-report healthcare resource-utilisation data has recently been rigorously developed in the UK (bristol.ac.uk/modrum). We aimed to develop bolt-on modules for measuring informal care (i.e. unpaid care provided by relatives, friends or the community), social care and personal expenses.
