Résumé :	[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST eAC27R0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) and willingness to pay (WTP) are two preference-based measures of health-related outcomes. In this article, we compare these two measures in eliciting individuals'preferences for health outcomes associated with shingles. To collect the necessary preference data, we administered computer-interactive interviews to sample of 65-to 70-year-olds. We found no significant correlation between QALYs and WTP across individuals. We discuss our findings and argue that our results raise questions about whether QALYs and WTP are equivalent preference-based measures of health outcomes.
