OBJ ECTIVE To introduce adjusted limited dependent variable mixed model （ALDVMM）and study its application in mapping research ，so as to provide reference for pharmacoeconomic evaluation that needs to obtain health utility value through mapping. METHODS Using the method of literature research ，ALDVMM was introduced from the aspects of development background，model principle ，model determination and test ，model advantages and the current application of the model in empirical research. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS ALDVMM is a mixed model developed by foreign scholars for the truncation and multimodality phenomenon of EuroQoL group ’s 5D（EQ-5D）at the health utility value 1. Compared with the traditional model，ALDVMM is feasible and has more advantages ，and can more effectively and flexibly capture the actual distribution of EQ-5D and deal with the boundary value problem ，which is helpful to obtain the health utility value more accurately and efficiently and carry out high-quality pharmacoeconomic evaluation.
