Exploring the Preferences of the Australian Public for Antibiotic Treatments: A Discrete Choice Experiment
ConclusionsDespite concerted public awareness raising campaigns, our results suggest that several factors may influence the preferences of Australians when considering antibiotic use. However, for those more likely to be aware of the need to preserve antibiotics, out-of-pocket costs and limiting the contribution to antibiotic resistance are the dominant influence. Delays in starting treatment were not important for any latent class, suggesting public tolerance for this measure. These results could help inform strategies to promote prudent antibiotic stewardship. (Source: The Patient - Patient-Centered Outcomes Research)

Preferences of People Living with HIV for Long-Acting Antiretroviral Treatment in Germany: Evidence from a Discrete Choice Experiment
ConclusionsAll attributes included in our survey were important to participants when choosing an antiretroviral therapy. We found evidence that the frequency of dosing as well as the risk of long-term side effects have a particular impact on the acceptance of novel therapy regimens and should be considered in order to optimize adherence and satisfaction.

Including Young Children in the Development and Testing of Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) Instruments: A Scoping Review of Children ’s Involvement and Qualitative Methods
DiscussionCreative/participatory activities may be beneficial in concept elicitation research with children ≤ 7 years, but future research needs to explore what contributes to the success of young children’s involvement and how researchers can adopt flexible methods. Cognitive interviews with young children are limited in frequency, scope and reported methodological detail, potentially impacting PRO M content validity for this age group. Without detailed reporting, it is not possible to determine the feasibility and usefulness of children’s (≤ 7 years) involvement in qualitative research to support PROM develop...

Developing a Conceptual Framework for Socioeconomic Impact Research in European Cancer Patients: A ‘Best-Fit’ Framework Synthesis
ConclusionWe propose a Socioeconomic Impact Framework based on a targeted review and synthesis of existing models in the field and adapted to the European perspective. Our work contributes as an input to a European consensus project on socioeconomic impact research by an Organization European Cancer Institute (OECI) Task Force.

Design and Administration of Patient-Centred Outcome Measures: The Perspectives of Children and Young People with Life-Limiting or Life-Threatening Conditions and Their Family Members
ConclusionsThis study demonstrates that children with life-limiting conditions can engage in communicating preferences regarding the design of a patient-centred outcome measure. Where possible, children should be given the opportunity to participate in the measure development process to enhance acceptability and uptake in clinical practice. Results of this study should be considered in future research on outcome measure development in children. (Source: The Patient - Patient-Centered Outcomes Research)
