In health preference research (HPR) studies, data are generated by participants'/subjects' decisions. When developing an HPR study, it is therefore important to have a clear understanding of the components decision and how those stimulate participant behavior. To obtain valid reliable results, study designers must sufficiently describe model its components. studies require detailed examination criteria, documentation descriptive framework, specification hypotheses. The objects that subjects'...

To quantify physicians' preferences for adjuvant renal cell carcinoma (RCC) treatments. A discrete-choice experiment was administered online to board-certified/eligible physicians. Physicians chose between pairs of hypothetical therapies a high-risk patient who had recently undergone radical nephrectomy. Data were analyzed using random-parameters logit and latent-class models. (n = 250; 64% oncologists; 36% urologists) placed most importance on improvements in the chance 5-year overall...

753 Background: Patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) face a preference-sensitive choice among various treatment alternatives. MIBC is typically treated radical cystectomy (RC) or bladder-sparing chemoradiation, but systemic therapy also plays conjunctive role in reducing recurrence rates. This study elicited preferences for available and emerging treatments patients the United States. Methods: self-reported participated an online survey. A discrete-choice experiment attributes...

Publications reporting discrete choice experiments of healthcare interventions rarely discuss whether patient and public involvement (PPI) activities have been conducted. This paper presents examples from the existing literature a detailed case study National Institute for Health Research-funded PATHWAY programme that comprehensively included PPI at multiple stages preference research. Reflecting on these examples, as well wider literature, we describe different which it is possible to...
