OBJECTIVE: To examine parents' preferences for drug treatments and health outcomes in @entity4932 ( @entity4932 ) and identify demographic and health-related factors that significantly impact choice. METHODS: A discrete choice experiment was conducted with 105 parents of @entity1 with @entity4932 who were cared for by a rheumatologist at The Hospital for Sick @entity1 in Canada. Attributes evaluated included "drug treatment," " @entity1 reported @entity158 from @entity625 ," "participation in daily activities," "side effects," "days missed from school," and "cost to you." Multinomial logit regression was used to estimate the relative importance of each attribute level and interaction term. RESULTS: Parents made tradeoffs between characteristics of the drug treatments and health outcomes. "Participation in daily activities" was the most important attribute, followed by " @entity1 reported @entity158 from @entity625 " and "cost to you." Parents of @entity1 with longer disease durations had stronger preferences for improved participation in daily activities, whereas parents of older @entity4932 @entity1 had stronger preferences for improved control of @entity158 . CONCLUSION: Parents of @entity1 with @entity4932 demonstrated strong preferences for treatments that reduce @entity158 and improve daily functioning regardless of the associated side effects, level of responsibility required for drug administration, and days missed from school. Parents of @entity1 with longer disease durations and those who had been prescribed aggressive therapies had a greater preference for treatment effectiveness. These findings support the need for considering parental preferences in decisions regarding the choice of treatment for @entity4932 .
