Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study investigated patients’ preference toward receiving antiretroviral therapy at a community medical unit (CMU), a primary care facility, using discrete choice experiment. We interviewed 357 patients who were receiving ART at a special clinic at a public hospital in northeast Thailand. Compared with a scenario comparable to the current situation where they have to wait for 4 hours to see an HIV specialist at the hospital, 43% of them prefer CMU if a general physician can provide ART with less than 1 hour of waiting time. Such information would facilitate policy making of shifting the task of providing ART from the hospital to PCFs in future.
