Syringe Services Participants' Preferences for Wound Care, HIV/Hepatitis C Virus Screening, and Opioid Use Disorder Treatment: A Discrete Choice Experiment.
Article in Value in health : the journal of the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesPeople who inject drugs (PWID) underutilize primary and preventive health services. To inform strategies for improving PWID healthcare engagement, we elicited PWID preferences for receiving wound care, HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV) screening, and buprenorphine treatment for opioid use disorder using discrete choice experiments (DCEs).
methodsWe conducted DCEs with PWID at 14 syringe services programs (SSPs) in the United States. The DCEs presented 10 service-specific pairs of random combinations of care delivery attributes (eg, location), with various levels (eg, SSP, urgent care), with an opt-out alternative. Participants completed the HIV/HCV screening DCE if not seropositive, and the buprenorphine DCE if they self-reported buprenorphine treatment history or interest; all completed the wound care DCE. We identified latent classes and estimated measures of preference using multinomial logit.
resultsWe selected 3-group latent class solutions for each DCE. Across all services, participants valued shorter travel times, wait times, and waitlists; ≥1 group per DCE strongly preferred receiving services at SSPs. Wound care (n = 546) groups differed by their strength of preferences for service location and care comprehensiveness. All HIV/HCV screening (n = 403) groups preferred walk-in appointments and on-site fingerstick screening; groups differed by strength of preferences for locations and travel times. All buprenorphine (n = 261) groups preferred less punitive consequences for positive urine toxicology results and differed by their preferences for locations.
conclusionsMost participants strongly preferred shorter travel times and wait times; for all services, ≥1 group preferred SSP settings. By addressing PWID preferences, these findings can help improve healthcare engagement.
