How to Implement Adherence-Promoting Programsin Clinical Practice? A Discrete Choice Experimenton Physicians’ Preferences

A discrete choice experiment was conducted among general practitioners, cardiologists, neurologists and ophthalmologists in Germany to examine physicians’ preferences regarding adherence-promoting programs (APPs). The design considered five attributes with two or three attribute levels each: validation status of the APP; possibility for physicians to receive a certificate; type of intervention; time commitment per patient and quarter of the year to carry out the APP; reimbursement for APP participation, per included patient and quarter of the year.
