Descriptive analysis of the use of and preferences for equine veterinary services
Background
Little is known about horse owners' use of and preferences for equine veterinary services, which are key components of the financial health of equine veterinary practices and challenges facing the profession.
Objectives
The objective of this research is to describe horse owners' use of and preferences for equine veterinary services and assess their willingness to adapt to changes in delivery of services.
Study design
An online survey was used to collect data for the study. The target audience was US residents aged 18+ who were financially responsible for at least one horse, pony, mule or donkey.
Methods
The online survey was distributed through participating organisations' social media and email lists. Microsoft Excel 16 was used to tabulate summary statistics.
Results
The survey received a total of 4915 usable responses from every state in the United States. Most respondents are financially responsible for one to five horses, have a primary equine veterinarian and are visited by a veterinarian two to four times per year. Low rates of equine health savings accounts and health insurance may limit financial access to veterinary care. The majority of respondents report a willingness to accommodate deviations from traditional delivery of services. The most common maximum willingness-to-pay for annual vaccinations was $150, lameness exams was $200 and emergency colic surgery was $5000.
Main limitations
The response rate cannot be computed due to the distribution method. The representativeness of the sample cannot be determined due to lack of information on the horse owning population. In stated preference studies, hypothetical bias is common.
Conclusions
The results from this survey provide the first-known documented evidence on the utilisation of equine veterinary services in the United States, willingness to adapt to changes and willingness to pay for three sample services. These data can inform the profession on attitudes towards services provided.
期刊介绍：
Equine Veterinary Education (EVE) is the official journal of post-graduate education of both the British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) and the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP).
Equine Veterinary Education is a monthly, peer-reviewed, subscription-based journal, integrating clinical research papers, review articles and case reports from international sources, covering all aspects of medicine and surgery relating to equids. These papers facilitate the dissemination and implementation of new ideas and techniques relating to clinical veterinary practice, with the ultimate aim of promoting best practice. New developments are placed in perspective, encompassing new concepts and peer commentary. The target audience is veterinarians primarily engaged in the practise of equine medicine and surgery. The educational value of a submitted article is one of the most important criteria that are assessed when deciding whether to accept it for publication. Articles do not necessarily need to contain original or novel information but we welcome submission of this material. The educational value of an article may relate to articles published with it (e.g. a Case Report may not have direct educational value but an associated Clinical Commentary or Review Article published alongside it will enhance the educational value).
