Patients’ perspectives on ecologically sustainable health care in general practice: an experimental vignette and questionnaire study
We found no indication that sustainable treatment advice leads to lower satisfaction with GP care. The effect of explicitly mentioning sustainability was minimal and differed per health complaint. When directly asked, participants were mainly positive about sustainable health care. These results could encourage GPs to introduce sustainable treatment advice, without worrying about negatively influencing patient satisfaction.
