The Differences Between Patient Preferences & Patient Reported Outcomes
Chair: Andrew Lloyd DPhil, Director, Oxford Outcomes, Oxford, UK
How are patient preferences similar to and different from patient-reported outcomes? Once complete, the article will be submitted to ISPOR CONNECTIONS.
Conjoint Analysis Database Project
Chair: Deborah Marshall PhD
Conjoint analysis, a stated-preference method, is applied in health outcomes research, but the large variation in method type and quality make it difficult to assess substantive findings. This project has been established to identify and evaluate empirical conjoint analysis applications in the literature using the ISPOR Checklist for Good Research Practice in Conjoint Analysis (the Checklist).
