The issue of health equity is important to Thai people, but there has not been a clear measure of its significance.
Findings from the “Health Inequality Aversion Survey” confirm that Thai people highly value health equity, although differences exist between the general public and policymakers.
The general public, based on in-person surveys, prioritises reducing health inequality to the extent that they are willing to sacrifice potential benefits for the disadvantaged groups (Egalitarians). In contrast, policymakers and the general public from online surveys place greater importance on improving the health of disadvantaged groups (Weighted Prioritarians).
The insights from this survey will be utilised to evaluate cost-effectiveness through the Distributional Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (DCEA) method, being studied for the first time in Thailand and the Southeast Asia Region.
