药师在药品处方中扮演着重要的角色，对国家药品政策的实施有着重要的影响。本文旨在分析我国药师对基本药物的偏好和选择。问卷调查，设计作为一个离散的选择实验，发送到80个人。在问卷中，根据六个属性构建了不同的情景：疾病流行率、疾病严重程度、目标群体的年龄、给药途径、个人健康益处和成本效益。个人的偏好和选择是根据这些特征回归的。建立二元Logistic回归模型，确定属性的相对重要性。结果表明，所有方面都对受访者的偏好产生了重大影响。
Pharmacists take an important role in prescribing drugs and have great influence on the implementation of national drug policies. The aim of this article is to analyze the preferences and choice of essential drugs among pharmacists in China. A questionnaire survey, designed as a discrete choice experiment, was sent to 80 individuals. In the questionnaire, different scenarios were constructed on the basis of six attributes: disease prevalence, severity of disease, age of target group, route of administration, individual health benefits, and cost-effectiveness. Individual preferences and choice were regressed against those characteristics. Binary logistic regression model was established to determine the relative importance of the attributes. The results showed that all aspects proved to significantly influence the respondents’ preferences.
