Description
Yaolin Hu and co-authors ask how people with obesity in China choose online medical consultations. Two motives were split apart: some people mainly want drugs for weight care, and others mainly want advice. Their 2024 study used discrete choice experiments, which ask people to pick between set offers. Four hundred people were placed in each motive group.
Each choice task varied six traits of the service, such as the doctor and the price. The design held 16 choice sets for each person. A mixed logit model then weighed which traits drove each pick. The aim is a clear map of what each group values most. That map can guide clinics that plan online weight care services.
