Hi Kate,

There is no “gold standard” for elicitation of patient preferences…one technique that we recently developed (Dual Analog Visual Scale) explore regret concept…here is a link

we believe the technique has advantages over traditional techniques such as VAS, TTO or standard gamble…

Subject: patient's treatment preferences- cancer

I was just wondering if there was a body of knowledge about what 'criteria' patients might utilise in their assessment of medical technologies (ie drugs or other treatment) and how this reflects (or otherwise) the 'criteria' used to develop treatment protocols.
