A qualitative study to understand public views on the relative value of health gains for children and young people in Australia compared to adults
Choices were shaped by perceptions of the impact of the health states. These qualitative insights help to inform the development of different approaches in healthcare resource allocation highlighting the importance of involving a diverse range of participants with varying views in the decision-making process. The findings also provide insight into interpreting quantitative results from PTO tasks.
