The study purpose was to determine whether differences in the weights assigned to various dimensions of health by 90 women in three subgroups (benign breast disease, breast cancer receiving chemotherapy, and breast cancer receiving other therapies) were associated with differences in self-reported health status in these dimensions. Two methods, one direct and the other indirect, were used to elicit values for mobility, depression, and social support. Two different scales also provided self-reports of health status in each of these dimensions. These measures, in conjunction with sociodemographic variables, were used to test for status-value relationships. No statistically significant association between health values and health status was observed. The absence of any detectable association may have been a result of methodologic difficulties in assessing broadly defined dimensions of health. A possible solution would be to use "individualized" dimensions that are uniquely important to the individual, and to take into account such factors as possible influences of past health status and values, and possible gaps between expected health status and health status actually experienced.
