Adolescent and Young Adult Perspectives on Quality and Value in Health Care.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To describe adolescent and young adult (AYA) perspectives on defining quality and value in health care and to gain understanding of their knowledge of value-based payment.

Methods

A text message-based survey was sent to a convenience sample of AYAs aged 14 to 24 in 2019. Participants were asked 4 open-ended questions: 1) how they would define "good health care," 2) what factors to consider in rating doctors, 3) whose opinions should matter most when rating doctors, and 4) the best ways to collect AYA opinions on doctors, and one yes/no question on their awareness of value-based payment. Analyses included descriptive demographic statistics and an inductive thematic approach with multivariable models comparing adolescent (14-18) and young adult (19-24) responses.
