Preferences for Health Interventions: Improving Uptake, Adherence, and Efficiency

Real-world choices may involve almost unlimited factors, but preference surveys focus on a handful of attributes chosen by researchers.Because the validity of DCEs depends on the accuracy of the underlying decision model, the field must systematically compare the potential bias garnered by omitting...

Description
Summary:Real-world choices may involve almost unlimited factors, but preference surveys focus on a handful of attributes chosen by researchers.Because the validity of DCEs depends on the accuracy of the underlying decision model, the field must systematically compare the potential bias garnered by omitting relevant intervention attributes with the effects of an overly complex, but more realistic survey (for example, when asking participants to consider too many attributes or complex attributes such as risks).[...]HPR can complement implementation science when used as a diagnostic tool to identify barriers to and facilitators of treatment engagement as well as to help policy makers and clinicians customize interventions and communication strategies in new settings [6, 7].Because of this, future research should investigate the extent to which factors such as misinformation or uncertainty can explain the differences between stated preferences and actual behavior.[...]some patients may not want full decision-making control in all circumstances, and caregivers, providers, or payers may limit their control.
