For clarity, we displayed only effect sizes (ES) and standardised response means (SRM) ≥ |0.5|. Large ESs and SRMs (ES/SRM ≥ |0.8|) were printed bold

EQ-G/UK: German/British EQ-5D index; F1: patients with alcohol addiction; F2: patients with schizophrenia; F3: patients with affective disorders; GSI: global severity index; SD: standard deviation; TTO: time trade-off; VAS: visual analogue scale
