Patients' and nurses' preferences for autoinjectors for rheumatoid arthritis: results of a European survey.
This survey investigated patients' and nurses' preferences among four different autoinjectors used for subcutaneous delivery of medication for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). ⋯ Both patients and nurses perceived the SensoReady to be easier to use compared with other available injection devices. The main reasons for this preference were the buttonless injection, 360° viewing window for feedback (visual confirmation of dose injection), and convenient triangular shape making the injection device easy to grip. Patients and nurses were most likely to recommend the SensoReady autoinjector over other autoinjectors to patients with RA.

Customers' preferences and willingness to pay for a future dengue vaccination: a study of the empirical evidence in Vietnam.
Dengue was endemic to Vietnam. Due to the lack of a readily available remedy, dengue vaccines (DV) have been used elsewhere to cure the disease. However, introducing DV in Vietnam has met resistance from society and the government, influencing decisions about willingness-to-pay (WTP) and other pharmacoeconomic studies. This research aimed to evaluate the extent to which Vietnamese customers would be willing to pay to vaccinate themselves and their children, if any at all, against dengue. ⋯ The WTP rates for DV were high, supporting the introduction of DV in Vietnam.

Assessment of medication adherence and responsible use of isotretinoin and contraception through Belgian community pharmacies by using pharmacy refill data.
The aims of the study were to evaluate medication adherence and the influencing factors for isotretinoin and contraception (oral, patches, and rings) and to evaluate the concomitant use of contraception and isotretinoin. ⋯ Medication adherence to isotretinoin and contraception and compliance with the isotretinoin safety recommendation could be improved. Health service interventions, using pharmacy refill data, should be delivered to ensure patient safety and strict adherence to contraception when under isotretinoin treatment.
