Discrete choice experiment (DCE) is increasingly advocated as a way to quantify crowd preferences. Many foreign countries have already applied this method in the field of health and achieved fruitful research results. In recent years, China's health sector has also begun to focus on the application of this method. A small number of empirical studies mainly focus on measuring the work preference of medical staff and patients' preference for medical treatment. The aim of this paper was to summarizes the health-related researches and provide a description of trends, current practice and future challenges, and provide suggestions for future domestic related research.
