“…Using lottery choice tasks, Simon-Tuval et al demonstrated that risk-seeking patients with type 2 diabetes adhere less to selfcare behavior and medications. 8,9 We previously showed that patients with diabetes who were risk-seeking in judging hypothetical lotteries were prone to developing complications. 7 Although the method for estimating risk preferences using the maximum price that an individual's willing to pay for a lottery ticket has been proved in economics, [13][14][15] the participants of these studies were usually healthy volunteers.…”

“…The findings are consistent with those reported by Simon-Tuval et al indicating using hypothetical lotteries that risk-seeking preferences are significantly associated with failure in self-management and the medication nonadherence. 8,9 However, because we used an open pricing method in the questionnaires, there were varied responses. Some patients indicated that they would pay more for a lottery ticket than they could win, which seemed irrational.…”

Purpose The risk preferences of patients with diabetes have profound effects on the progression of complications. The present study aimed to clarify whether the preferences of patients with diabetes and retinopathy are deliberately risk-seeking or irrational and whether this propensity is specific to those with retinopathy or is also found in patients without retinopathy compared with those without diabetes. Patients and Methods A total of 394 patients with diabetes (264 without retinopathy and 130 with retinopathy) and 198 patients without diabetes agreed to participate in this survey. The questions were modified versions of those from the Japan Household Survey on Consumer Preferences and Satisfaction, which sought to determine the participants’ personal socioeconomic status and risk preferences. In the questionnaires, responses were analyzed by determining the participants’ willingness to pay for a lottery ticket and for an insurance policy. Irrational responses were defined as violations of two axioms of the Expected Utility Theory: completeness and transitivity. Results The incidence of irrational responses increased with age and was associated with educational level. The incidence of irrational responses was significantly higher in patients with retinopathy than in those without retinopathy after adjusting for age and educational level. There was no significant difference in the incidence of irrational responses between patients with diabetes but without retinopathy and those without diabetes. Conclusion The risk-seeking behavior of patients with diabetes and retinopathy was not deliberate but was irrational under uncertainty. Medical professionals should be aware of their patients’ propensity to make irrational decisions, which is an important risk factor for the progression of retinopathy in patients with diabetes regardless of age and educational level.

“…Thus, social compliance constitutes a behavior which is likely to resonate with individual time and risk preferences. This idea is supported by evidence of health-related contexts, highlighting that patience positively a↵ects the adherence to physical activity advice (Van Der Pol et al, 2017), whereas more risk tolerant subjects are less likely to adhere to medications (Simon-Tuval et al, 2018). Compliance also requires from citizens that they trust the appropriateness of the measures and the reliability of the provided information.…”

We test in a survey the impact of economic preferences on compliance and perception during the Corona pandemic. Results show that economic preferences crucially impact citizens' compliance to policies fighting the crisis. Risk tolerance negatively a↵ects citizens' avoidance of crowds, whereas patience helps to do so and to stay home. Present-biased subjects engage in panic buying. Risk tolerance is negatively related with the Corona threat and trust positively resonates with positive media perception. Exploiting data from before the crisis allows us to infer causality and to deduce valuable insights for crisis management by identifying target groups or regions for the allocation of scare medical or surveillance resources.

“…Most of the RP published literature focused on health behaviors that are driven to prevent the development of infectious diseases, such as AIDS [20], and specific cancers [21, 22] and facilitate the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus (DM) in healthy (at risk) individuals [23–25]. Two studies assessed RP in adult patients who were already diagnosed with type 2 DM, and both studies found an association between the degree of risk and adherence to medication [24, 25]. There is limited RP-literature published in the field of rheumatic diseases.…”

Validation of a risk perception questionnaire developed for patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Background Risk perception is a multidimensional phenomenon that describes the individual’s judgment of the likelihood of experiencing something unpleasant. Risk perception helps to understand how rheumatoid arthritis patients perceive disease-related-risks. We developed and validated a risk perception questionnaire for Spanish speaking rheumatoid arthritis patients. Methods The questionnaire development and validation was performed in 3 steps, using respective convenience samples. Step-1 included the conceptual model construction, 20 patient’s interviews to identify components from the conceptual model-dimensions and 11 healthcare provider´s consultations who identified RA related manifestations/complications (network and frequencies analysis). Step-2 consisted of item generation and reduction and questionnaire feasibility (n = 100). Step-3 consisted of the questionnaire psychometric validation (n = 270), which included content, face, construct (exploratory factor analysis) and criterion validity (logistic regression analysis) and consistency and stability (Cronbach’s α and test-retest). Results Samples were representative of typical RA outpatients. Initial conceptual model included 7 dimensions, 3 for probability and 1 each, for responsibility, prevention, control and for severity (Step-1). The final version was considered feasible by the patients and included 27 items (Step-2). A five-factor model was most appropriated and resulted in 68.8% of the variance explained: Cronbach’s α = 0.90, intraclass-correlation-coefficient = 0.93 (95% CI = 0.90–0.95). A positive relation between number of external criteria from the charts and risk perception was found; all items had ≥80% agreement from experts; patients agreed about item´s semantic clarity (89%) and format adequacy (97%), (Step-3). Conclusions The risk perception questionnaire was valid and reliable to evaluate risk perception construct in RA outpatients; it can be incorporated to routine care and clinical research, and guide interventions to improve patient’s health behaviors.

Adherence of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus to medications: the role of risk preferences

Abstract: Risk-seeking patients are less adherent to OHA medications. Identifying these patients may enable practitioners to proactively tailor strategies to improve their adherence and health outcomes.
