Research has shown that various factors influence the public involvement in the decision making process for resource allocation and priority setting. Some researchers suggest that age (which holds a prominent position through the years of researching this area of study) [1, 10–15] family size and gender are considered to be the most influential factors in resource allocation and priority setting [14, 16] while others suggest that personal characteristics should not be associated with priority setting . Moreover, lifestyle , person’s contribution in causing the disease [17, 18] quality of life and improvement in health as a result of a treatment i.e. health gain after treatment , severity of disease and cost of treatment [19, 20] waiting time and the patient’s family responsibilities appear to have an impact on priority setting [13, 21]. Research has also shown that the public’s differing options may reflect the differences in educational level [10, 14, 18, 22, 23] while other studies do not attribute the differing options to education or personal traits .
