An experimental study of preferences for resource allocation of medical technology

为了了解公众在分配医疗技术资源时考虑的因素，进行了前列腺癌筛查的离散选择实验。此外，提出了一种同时估计时间和风险偏好参数的新方法。在前列腺癌筛查中，假阳性率和假阴性率的升高以及高自付费用与较低的筛查参与概率相关。提出了医疗技术需求与时间和偏好的关系。

To understand what factors general public consider when they allocate resources for medical technologies, discrete choice experiments for prostate cancer screening are performed. In addition, new method is invented to estimate time and risk preference parameters simultaneously. In prostate cancer screening, the elevation of false-positive rate and false-negative rate and high out-of-pocket payment is associated with lower probability of screening participation. The relation between demand of medical technology and time and preference is suggested.
