Modelling Multidimensional Multiparty Decisions to Improve Outcomes

该项目计划探索一种新的多方决策模式，重点是医疗保健。消费者每天都要做很多决定。虽然其中许多是相对微不足道的，但有些对个人健康至关重要，包括坚持医疗计划。此外，许多这些关键决策涉及复杂和多维的权衡。该项目旨在打破传统，将复杂的决策概念定义为多方（主要是焦点消费者、父母/照顾者和医疗专家），而不是局限于专家-客户的二元关系。该项目计划调查复杂的多方决策是如何做出的，衡量各方对集体偏好形成的相对影响。该项目希望测试新的理论，开发新的测量工具来研究选择，并提供实用的建议。

The project plans to explore a new multiparty model of decision-making, focusing on medical care. Every day, consumers make many decisions. While many are relatively trivial, some are critical to individual wellbeing including adherence to medical treatment plans. Moreover, many of these critical decisions involve complex and multidimensional trade-offs. This project intends to break from tradition by conceptualising complex decision-making as multiparty (primarily the focal consumer, parents/carers and medical experts) rather than being confined to an expert–customer dyad. The project plans to investigate how complex multiparty decisions are made, measuring the relative influence of each of the parties on the formation of collective preferences. The project expects to test new theory, develop new measurement tools for studying choice, and to provide practical recommendations.
