Paul Harris just completed his PhD studies on the Australian public's preferences for emergency care alternatives and how these differ depending on presenting circumstances. His research demonstrates the public have heterogeneous preferences, which are influenced by a range of individual factors such as attitudes towards responsibilities for health, sociodemographics and health status and health care experiences. The findings provide insights into the Australian public's reactions to emergency care reform and further demonstrate the importance of service quality of as determinant of health care choices.
