Supplementary material: Acceptability and consumers’ willingness to pay for comprehensive medication management services in Brazil

These are peer-reviewed supplementary questionnaire and consent forms for the article 'Acceptability and consumers’ willingness to pay for comprehensive medication management services in Brazil' published in the Journal of Comparative Effectiveness Research.Aim: Comprehensive medication management (CMM) is a clinical service that aims to optimize the therapeutic results of patients at the individual level. Studies carried out in Brazil and in several parts of the world have found a positive impact of the service, mainly in the resolution of drug therapy problems and in improving clinical outcomes and patients’ quality of life. This service is not widespread and its acceptability and willingness to pay were not defined by the population yet. Objective: This work aims to conduct a study with users of private health services to determine the acceptability and willingness to pay for CMM services. Methods: This is a cross-sectional survey conducted through face-to-face interviews, among residents over 18 years of age of the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte, capital of Minas Gerais State, Brazil. Results: For this study, 563 individuals were interviewed. Most respondents were female (55.1%), had completed high school (46.8%) and were employed (62.5%). The acceptability for the service was 93,25%, and among all respondents, 37 would not accept the service even if it was free. The amount of consumers’ willingness to pay for the CMM service was estimated at $17.75 (40.00 BRL). Conclusion: The research results show that most people are willing to pay for the CMM service. This study can contribute to the decision-making regarding the implementation and pricing of the service in Brazil.

本数据集收录了发表于《比较疗效研究杂志》的论文《巴西综合药物治疗管理服务的可接受性与消费者支付意愿》的同行评审补充问卷调查和知情同意书。研究目标：综合药物治疗管理（CMM）是一项旨在优化患者个体治疗效果的临床服务。在巴西及世界多个地区进行的调查研究显示，该服务具有积极影响，尤其在解决药物治疗问题、提升临床结局及患者生活质量方面。然而，此服务尚未得到广泛推广，其可接受性和支付意愿尚未由公众明确界定。研究目的：本研究旨在通过面向私人医疗服务用户的调查，确定CMM服务的可接受性和支付意愿。研究方法：这是一项通过面对面访谈进行的横断面调查，调查对象为巴西米纳斯吉拉斯州首府贝洛奥里藏特大都市地区的18岁以上居民。研究结果：本研究共访谈了563位个体。大多数受访者为女性（55.1%）、高中毕业（46.8%）且就业（62.5%）。服务可接受度为93.25%，在所有受访者中，有37人即使免费也不会接受该服务。消费者对CMM服务的支付意愿估计为17.75美元（40.00巴西雷亚尔）。研究结论：研究结果揭示，大多数人愿意为CMM服务支付费用。本研究可为巴西CMM服务的实施与定价决策提供参考。
