A novel method for eliciting foot care preferences in juvenile idiopathic arthritis: a discrete choice experiment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background The management of foot problems in JIA is complex and requires a multidisciplinary health professional input. However little is known about patients’ and parents’ preferences for attributes of foot care. Incorporating individuals’ preferences into future foot-care provision may improve satisfaction, treatment adherence, and thus clinical efficacy. The aim of this study was to compare the relative importance of foot care attributes to parents of children/adolescents with JIA using an established stated preference method, a discrete choice experiment (DCE).
