PCR76 Do We Really Need a Study Looking at That? A Best-Worst Scaling Study Assessing Methodological Research Priorities According to the Patient Preference Research Community

There is growing interest from patients, advocacy groups, government agencies, and the pharmaceutical industry in the use of data from studies of patient preferences to inform decision making across the medical product lifecycle. However, there are unanswered questions related to methodological requirements for such studies. The PREFER project was launched in 2016 to address some of these questions. As PREFER ends there is a need to look to the future and see which research topics and methodological questions stakeholders prioritize to increase confidence in and acceptance of patient preference research for decision-making throughout the medical product lifecycle.
