title: [Preferences for user fees in general practice and the establishment of general practitioners in rural areas].
abstract: This study elicits the preferences of general practitioners (GPs) and patients for different ways of mitigating problems with a general and structural lack of GPs in Denmark. The supply of GPs can be increased in rural areas if the GPs are compensated (approximately 470,000 DKK per year in extra surplus) and if other non-pecuniary factors are implemented. The study further showed that there was a positive willingness to pay for a consultation (74-85 DKK), although the majority of the GPs do not support this initiative.
