Preferences for Non-Pharmaceutical Public Health Measures Against Respiratory Viral Infections: A Scoping Review Protocol

This study aims to conduct a scoping review that systematically synthesises evidence from DCEs examining public and stakeholder preferences for NPIs used in the prevention and control of influenza, COVID-19, and RSV. Insights from this review will inform the design of a subsequent DCE investigating public preferences for public health measures involving NPIs during a flu pandemic. The review has two specific objectives: first, to summarise the attributes and attribute levels used in DCEs to measure preferences for NPIs, including the methods employed for their identification and selection; and second, to identify which attributes of NPIs are most valued from the perspectives of both the public and relevant stakeholders, such as patients, healthcare workers, and policymakers.
