There is recent interest in using discrete choice experiments (DCEs) to derive health state utility values, and results can differ from time tradeoff (TTO). Clearly, DCE is "choice based," whereas TTO is generally considered a "matching" task. We explore whether procedural adaptations to the TTO, which make the method more closely resemble a DCE, make TTO and choice converge. In particular, we ...

We investigate the presence of redistributive attitudes on supply side land markets in a mountainous area Western Uganda. test whether observed preferences can be explained with an economic model informal insurance within social networks or alternative explanations, such as normative drivers, are needed. To do so, we first collected detailed data plot ownership, location and exposure to landsli...

Dear Editor, Specifi c genetic variants have a substantial effect on warfarin dose response but warfarin pharmacogenetic testing (WPGT) is still not routine clinical practice. Apart from clinical validity, economics, social, ethical and legal implications are also important aspects in the implementation of WPGT. Several studies have revealed high interest in pharmacogenetic testing (PGT) but al...

Recent high-level reports state the population should decrease meat consumption to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as well improve public health. This calls for new strategies change dietary habits, especially many consumers are reluctant eat less meat. study tests effect of labelling a meat-based ready meal with different levels carbon footprint and healthiness on consumers’ willingness...

Discrete choice experiments (DCEs) are frequently used to estimate and forecast the behavior of an individual's choice. DCEs based on stated preference; therefore, underlying experimental designs required for this type study. According psychologists, DCE consist a small number sets with limited size in alternatives within set increase response efficiency questionnaire. Even though algorithmic c...

Background The preferences of Iranians concerning the attributes of health insurance benefit packages are not well studied. This study aimed to elicit health insurance preferences among insured people in Iran during 2016.   Methods A mixed method...

OBJECTIVES We fielded a population-based discrete choice experiment (DCE) in rural western Tanzania, where only one third of women deliver children in a health facility, to evaluate health-system factors that influence women's delivery decisions. METHODS Women were shown choice cards that described 2 hypothetical health centers by means of 6 attributes (distance, cost, type of provider, attit...
