Preferences for public long-term care insurance among middle-aged and elderly residents: A discrete choice experiment in Hubei Province, China.

Objective: It is critical to incorporate residents' preferences into the design of long-term care insurance (LTCI). However, little is known about middle-aged and elderly residents' preferences for personalized need-related attributes of LTCI in China. Through a discrete choice experiment (DCE), we aimed to focus on the direct beneficiaries of LTCI and then elicit their preferences for LTCI under a hypothetical scenario of dysfunction.

Community residents' preferences for chronic disease management in Primary Care Facilities in China: a stated preference survey.

Background: Although Chinese government has dedicated the past decades to treating chronic diseases by primary healthcare system, many more residents are apt to choose higher-tier facilities to treat minor chronic diseases. Understanding residents' preferences for chronic disease management in primary care facilities can bridge the gap between residents' choices and policy implementation. This study aims to elicit residents' preferences for chronic disease management in primary care facilities in the hypothetical minor chronic disease scenario.

Treatment Preferences of Residents Assumed to Have Severe Chronic Diseases in China: A Discrete Choice Experiment.

Objectives: This study aims to elicit the relative importance of treatment attributes that influence residents' choice, assuming they are suffering severe non-communicable diseases (NCDs), to explore how they make trade-offs between these attributes and to estimate the monetary value placed on different attributes and attribute levels.

Methods: A discrete choice experiment (DCE) was conducted with adults over 18 years old in China. Preferences were evaluated based on four treatment attributes: care provider, mode of service, distance to practice and cost.

Preferences for Primary Healthcare Services Among Older Adults with Chronic Disease: A Discrete Choice Experiment.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to quantify the relative importance of the preference heterogeneity of Chinese older adults with chronic disease for primary healthcare service (PHCS) in the hypothetical minor chronic disease scenario.

Patients And Methods: A discrete choice experiment (DCE) was administered to the patients aged 60 and above with at least one chronic disease in China. Five DCE attributes were considered, including types of service, treatment options, out-of-pocket (OOP) cost per visit, distance to practice, and the seniority of medical practitioners.

Preferences of Patients with Non-Communicable Diseases for Primary Healthcare Facilities: A Discrete Choice Experiment in Wuhan, China.

Objectives: To elicit stated preferences of patients with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) for primary healthcare (PHC) facilities and to explore the willingness-to-pay (WTP) for facility attributes.

Methods: A discrete choice experiment (DCE) was conducted through face to face interviews. The DCE survey was constructed by five attributes: type of service, treatment measures, cost, travel time, and care provider.

Preferences heterogeneity of health care utilization of community residents in China: a stated preference discrete choice experiment.

Background: To tackle the issue with the low usage of primary healthcare service in China, it is essential to align resource distribution with the preferences of the community residents. There are few academic researches for describing residents' perceived characteristics of healthcare services in China. This study aims to investigate the preferences of healthcare services utilization in community residents and explore the heterogeneity.
