Is time a gift for health and life satisfaction? Exploring the relationship between time allocation and adaptation to a breast cancer diagnosis
The use of machine learning to understand the role of visual attention in multi-attribute choice
Whether eye movements (as a measure of visual attention) contribute to the understanding of how multi-attribute decisions are made, is still a matter of debate. In this study, we show how machine learning methods can be used to separate the effects of the information presented, eye movement patterns, and attention to specific information. We also show how to deal with data from a relatively small sample of participants, often found in eye trackin…
Won't you stay just a little bit longer? A discrete choice experiment of UK doctors’ preferences for delaying retirement
The Baby Box scheme in Scotland
BACKGROUND: The Scottish Government introduced a free Baby Box scheme for all new parents in 2017, modelled on the Finnish scheme, to give every baby 'an equal start in life'. There is little evidence that it results in better health outcomes, but there has been limited research into different perspectives and discourses on such schemes. METHODS: Four focus groups were conducted with 21 parents in North-East Scotland. Recordings were transcribed …

Eliciting preferences for social health insurance in Ethiopia
As low-income countries are initiating health insurance schemes, Ethiopia is also planning to move away from out-of-pocket private payments to health insurance. The success of such a policy depends on understanding and predicting preferences of potential enrolees. This is because a scarce health care budget forces providers and consumers to make trade-offs between potential benefits within a health insurance. An assessment of preferences of poten…

Improving the public health sector in South Africa
Background The introduction of national health insurance (NHI), aimed at achieving universal coverage, is the most important issue currently on the South African health policy agenda. Improvement in public sector health-care provision is crucial for the successful implementation of NHI as, regardless of whether health-care services become more affordable and available, if the quality of the services provided is not acceptable, people will not use…
Public opinion of drug treatment policy
Valuing patients' experiences of healthcare processes
Inclusiveness in the health economic evaluation space
Modelling Heterogeneity and Uncertainty in Contingent Valuation
Both the lack of market data and the need to adopt a more holistic approach in the valuation of non‐market activities within health care have pointed towards the use of contingent valuation ( CV ) methods. However, to date, few studies have employed such techniques to value informal care, despite its provision being an important public policy question. We propose an analytical framework that through the use of random parameters models and respond…
Discrete choice experiments in health economics
Discrete choice experiments (DCEs) have become a commonly used instrument in health economics. This paper updates a review of published papers between 1990 and 2000 for the years 2001–2008. Based on this previous review, and a number of other key review papers, focus is given to three issues: experimental design; estimation procedures; and validity of responses. Consideration is also given to how DCEs are applied and reported. We identified 114 D…
Valuing Informal Care Experience
Treatment of minor illness in primary care
Background This study investigated patient opinion about the provision of nurse‐led vs. doctor‐led primary health care in the treatment of minor illness. Design A postal questionnaire survey including discrete choice experiment (DCE) of a national sample followed by telephone interviews with respondent volunteers. Setting and participants A large random sample of the population of Scotland from a range of general practices including traditional a…
Using discrete choice experiments to derive welfare estimates for the provision of elective surgery
Using conjoint analysis to elicit preferences for health care
Traditionally the extent of patients' involvement in medical decision making has been minimal. This has been true at both the micro level of the patient consultation with a doctor and the macro level of planning and developing healthcare services. Since 1989, however, greater involvement of patients and the community in these processes has been advocated.1–5 In principle, the elicitation of patients' and the community's values represents a big st…

Sensitivity of Willingness to Pay Estimates to the Level of Attributes in Discrete Choice Experiments
This paper considers issues raised in the application of discrete choice experiments (DCEs) to estimating willingness to pay (WTP). The main issue addressed is the sensitivity of WTP estimates to the level of attributes. A DCE, concerned with preferences for alternative cervical screening programmes, was carried out with women in the Tayside area of Scotland. A split sample design was employed in which respondents were divided into two groups. Ea…

Using conjoint analysis to elicit the views of health service users
OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the application of conjoint analysis (CA) for eliciting the views of health service users. METHODS: A CA study was conducted alongside a randomized controlled trial evaluating the introduction of a patient health card (PHC). The PHC was evaluated with respect to three other aspects of general practice: number of days between making a non-urgent appointment and seeing a doctor; waiting time in reception between the time o…

What is the Role of the Consumer in Health Care
Recent government policy in the UK National Health Service (NHS) has carried with it an implicit assumption that greater consumer involvement in health care is both desirable and beneficial. This may be the case in theory, but in practice there are substantial barriers to consumers becoming more involved in health care. Following a consideration of the role the government envisages for consumers in the NHS, the extent to which it is possible for …

Agency in Health Care
What economists can learn from sociologists with regard to the economic theory of agency in health care is considered. Whilst the concept of agency has become widely accepted in health economics, its application to the doctor-patient relationship remains somewhat limited. Research is needed on the nature of the patient's and doctor's utility functions before an efficient outcome in health care can be achieved. Economists have much to learn from s…

Long-term effects of a cancer awareness program for community pharmacists
A continuing education program resulted in a 52% improvement in the specified professional behaviors of community pharmacists within one month. However, surveyed effects were not permanent and decreased significantly within 18 months. Following a simple mailing of specially designed literature, desired behaviors again underwent significant improvement comparable to that attributed to the original continuing education program. A better understandi…
