Health Preference Research

This SIG provides a platform for professional interaction between health preference researchers as well as students and new investigators interested in this field. We collaborate with existing HPR groups, particularly with the International Academy of Health Preference Research (IAHPR), an established specialist group of HPR researchers. Our field is broad, extending from methodological issues regarding the experimental design and analysis of preference evidence to the application of preference evidence (e.g., quality-adjusted life years, value of a statistical life, willingness-to-pay) for regulatory, clinical and individual decision-making.

Come join our SIG:

• To foster and support an international community of researchers whose activities support health preference research;
• To ensure access to the accumulated research expertise of IAHPR members and to actively promote the transfer of knowledge, evidence, and technologies regarding the use, analysis, and interpretation of health preference research;
• To support promising early-career researchers in the field of health preference research through involvement in SIG activities; and
• To provide a visible platform to encourage cross-specialty learning and an encouraging environment to share learnings from non-health preference research into HPR.
