Stated-preferences methods describe a range of survey techniques that can be used to study the priorities and preferences of patients and other stakeholders in health. These methods include a range of experimental and non-experimental methods that can be used to study how health and healthcare is valued and experienced. The literature applying these methods in health has grown dramatically in the last 2 decades, and methods such as discrete-choice experiments, conjoint analysis, best-worst scaling, and other tradeoff techniques are now considered essential tools in outcomes research. This course will provide an overview of stated-preference methods used today and will highlight both good research practices and strategies to make studies more relevant and useful in decision making. Participants in this course will learn about a variety of methods, how these methods can best be used in health, and good practices to develop, analyze, interpret, and disseminate and apply these methods in health. Detailed case studies of empirical examples will be used to illustrate concepts and methods.
