EQ-5D-Y is a generic instrument with 5 dimensions: mobility (walking about), looking after myself, doing usual activities, having pain or discomfort, and feeling worried, sad, or unhappy. In the standard 3L version, the response format has 3 severity levels: no problems, some problems, and a lot of problems [3]. In EQ-5D-Y-5L, 5 ordinal levels are deployed: no problems, a little bit of problems, some problems, a lot of problems, and cannot/extreme problems. Higher scores indicate worse outcomes. In addition to the descriptive system, EQ-5D also contains a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) where participant health today is measured on a range of 0 to 100. At the time the study was conducted, the ‘standard’ UK English Version of EQ-5D-Y-5L was not available. Hence, in close collaboration with the Version Management Committee of the EuroQol Group, we translated the 'in progress’ UK English version of EQ-5D-Y-5L into Bahasa Indonesia, following the translation protocol of the Group.
