I would like to ask how to calculate disability adjusted life years due to a disorder. Can any one suggest good articles on the methodology?

• National Burden of Disease manual of WHO 
• National Medical Journal of India in 2002
• the description of GBD methods that can be applied on a national or sub-national level and tailored to health values of a country, WHO
• Network on Health Expectancy
• psycowiki

And to end the topic:
I am trying to understand how the disability weights are calculated for each particular disease. Please let me know if anybody have resources or information available.
