Figure 2. Your Values for: Severe Stroke.
The panel to the left describes Physical Symptoms, Mental Symptoms, Treatment, and Recovery that can be expected following a severe stroke. The panel to the right uses a pill bottle motif to perform a standard gamble, assessing how large a risk of painless death a patient would be willing to take to avoid living with the long-term sequelae of a severe stroke. The next page in the pamphlet (not shown) is used to obtain the patient’s own value of quality of life for this health outcome.
