Abstract

A Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) is used to establish preference patterns for attributes of a medical institute that are exhibited by Israeli women who were diagnosed with breast cancer. It contributes and adds to the growing body of studies in Health Economics that use DCEs: (i) the domain of experimentation is extended to a country other than the UK or the US, where most experiments took place; (ii) a life-threatening disease has been chosen for the DCE, to test whether in this case too individuals relate to trade-offs between attributes, or alternatively focus only on quality of treatment; (iii) substitution or complementarities between attributes have been investigated; and (iv) differences in preference patterns within diverse socio-economic groups have been explored. The findings are followed by suggestions for possible extensions.
