Patient‐Centred Perspectives on Diagnostic Strategies for Endometriosis: A Qualitative Study
This study provides patient-centred insights into how individuals with confirmed or suspected endometriosis perceive and navigate the current diagnostic landscape. The findings contextualise and reinforce existing evidence on patient experiences of endometriosis diagnosis and highlight opportunities to align patient values with diagnostic strategies. These insights offer foundational direction for the subsequent development of a discrete choice experiment within the IPEDT project.
