Wait Time Preferences of the US Public for New Drugs: a Discrete Choice Experiment
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
To provide timely access to new treatments, some eligible drugs can be approved despite uncertainty surrounding the level of clinical benefit they offer patients.
It is not currently known if (and under which circumstances) the public would prefer to wait to access some new drugs in exchange for greater certainty surrounding their clinical benefit.
This study aims to elicit the preferences of the US public for wait times and clinical uncertainty of new drugs.
To elicit this information, in a survey format, respondents will be presented with a hypothetical scenario and asked to state their preferences for new treatments, each with different attributes.
