Is There a General Preference for the Worse Off? A Discrete Choice Experiment Using Individually Calibrated Health State Valuations

Our two-stage design using individual health state values is feasible, although there are trade-offs and room for development with such a design. We found no support for a preference for prioritizing the worse off when using individual-level health state valuations.

Abstract

Our two-stage design using individual health state values is feasible, although there are trade-offs and room for development with such a design. We found no support for a preference for prioritizing the worse off when using individual-level health state valuations.
