Does moral reasoning influence public values for health care priority setting?: A population-based randomized stated preference survey.

Objective

Preferences of members of the public are recognized as important inputs into health care priority-setting, though knowledge of such preferences is scant. We sought to generate evidence of public preferences related to healthcare resource allocation among adults and children.

Results
