Health preferences and discrete choice research
Overview
Much of my work measures how patients and the public value health, using discrete choice experiments across a wide range of conditions and interventions. The aim is to ensure that health policies and technologies reflect outcomes that people actually value, and to improve the methods used to measure those values.
Questions
What do people value in health care and health policy, how do preferences differ across people, and how can preference methods be made more robust?
Methods
Discrete choice experiments, preference-based value assessment, and, increasingly, process measures such as eye tracking.
