Abstract
The EuroQol Group first met in 1987 to test the feasibility of jointly developing a standardised non-disease-specific instrument for describing and valuing health-related quality of life. From the outset the Group has been multi-country, multi-centre and multi-disciplinary. Although the majority of the current members of the Group are from European countries, the increasing worldwide use of the instrument developed by the Group — EQ-5D — has resulted in new members from across the world joining in the enterprise.
