title: Segmenting the antihistamine market: an investigation of consumer preferences.
abstract: The authors combine conjoint analysis and contingent valuation into a single model to estimate the value of product attributes for antihistamine drugs. One hundred forty-three allergic rhinitis suffers were examined. The results show evidence of validity in the data. Cluster analysis reveals five segments of patients with various patterns of preference for product attributes.
