Valuing health at the end of life: A review of stated preference studies in the social sciences literature
Choosing vs. allocating: Discrete choice experiments and constant‐sum paired comparisons for the elicitation of societal preferences
BACKGROUND: There is growing evidence of a reluctance to allocate health care solely on the basis of maximizing quality-adjusted life years (QALYs). Stated preference methods can be used to elicit preferences for efficiency vs. equity in the allocation of health-care resources. OBJECTIVE: To compare discrete choice experiment (DCE) and constant-sum paired comparison (CSPC) methods for eliciting societal preferences. METHODS: Over a series of choi…
Valuing health at the end of life: A stated preference discrete choice experiment
A source of debate in the field of health care priority setting is whether health gains should be weighted differently for different groups of patients. The debate has recently focused on the relative value of life extensions for patients with short life expectancy. However, few studies have examined empirically whether society is prepared to fund life-extending end-of-life treatments that would not meet the reimbursement criteria used for other …
Demands for ‘off-licence’ access to trastuzumab (Herceptin): Content analysis of UK newspaper articles
BACKGROUND: Sensationalized reporting styles and a distorted framing of health-care issues in newspapers may trigger inappropriate commissioning decisions. We evaluated UK press coverage of pre-licensing access to trastuzumab (Herceptin) for early breast cancer as a case study. METHODS AND FINDINGS: Content analysis of newspaper articles published between April 2005 and May 2006 were coded by two researchers for interest groups represented, claim…
Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial of the Effectiveness of Audit and Feedback and Educational Outreach on Improving Nursing Practice and Patient Outcomes
BACKGROUND: Current understanding of implementation methods is limited, and research has focused on changing doctors' behaviors. AIM: Our aim was to evaluate the impact of audit and feedback and educational outreach in improving nursing practice and patient outcomes. METHODS: Using a factorial design, cluster randomized controlled trial, we evaluated 194 community nurses in 157 family practices and 1078 patients with diagnosis of urinary incontin…
The nature of procedural preferences for health-care rationing decisions
Exploring The Determinants Of Unhappiness For Ethnic Minority Men In Britain
This paper explores the determinants of unhappiness for ethnic minority men living in Britain, and compares these findings with those for White males. Data is drawn from the Fourth National Survey of Ethnic Minorities conducted in 1994, which has the advantage of over–sampling members of Britain’s ethnic minority population. Using this unique data source we are able to provide some of the first evidence of the psychological impact of unemployment…
Utilities versus Rights to Publicly Provided Goods: Arguments and Evidence from Health Care Rationing
This paper challenges the QALY maximizing approach to rationing health care on the grounds of the consequentialist (and sometimes approximately utilitarian) moral framework on which it is based. An alternative methodological approach is suggested and, in addition to consequences, four normative determinants of health care entitlements are identified: rights, public opinion, social contracts and community values. Survey evidence is presented which…
