Title: Weight criteria for priority-setting in health care in Peru: exploration of physician’s values. Objective: To explore physician’s acceptance of criteria for setting priorities for the health care system in Peru. Methods: A self-administered questionnaire was used. It was distributed to physicians who worked in hospitals from the National Health System (NHS) and the Social Security System. Participants were asked if they agreed with 19 criteria. Predetermined cut-off points were used to rank the criteria into three different categories: high weight (>67% of respondents agreed), average weight (34–66% of respondents agreed) and low weight (<33% of respondents agreed). A clarifying question was asked to determine which age should be given priority, we defined for age groups: 0-11, 12-24, 25-64 and ³65 years-old. We tested for associations with X2 test and T Test between respondents’ characteristics and whether they agreed with the criteria. Findings: From 232 physicians registered in the hospitals´ records, a total of 164 people took part. More than 67% of respondents agreed that the following patient-related criteria should be considered for priority-setting: age (87%), lifestyle (77%) and place of residence (71%). From the disease-related criteria these were considered important: cost-effectiveness(95%), benefit (90%), severity of disease (85%), quality of the data (84%), cost of intervention (77%). The only one of the society-related criteria that according to physicians´ answers should be considered for priority-setting is equity of access (91%). The 76% of respondents indicated that group 0-11 years-old should be the one priorized. There were not an apparent association between respondents´ characteristics and their preferences. Nevertheless, we found that if the physicians worked at the NHS they were more likely to agreed with the place of residence and community’s view criteria (X2 test p<0.05). Also, the younger physicians were more likely to considerer the community’s view criteria (T Test p<0.05). If the physicians considered priority-setting to be part of their regular work it was more likely (p<0.05) that they agreed with the age and cost of treatment criteria. Finally, the specialty and if they had an administrative position were statistically related to the social status and religion criteria, respectively. In these last cases, the clinical doctors did not considered social status to be a relevant criterion, and the physician with administrative responsibilities the religion. Conclusions: All the disease-related criteria were highly accepted. Age, lifestyle, place of residence and equity of access were highly accepted, too. The group 0-11 years-old should be the one priorized. We found association with the characteristics: age of the physician, institution were they worked, specialty, if they had an administrative position and if they considered priority setting to be part of their regular work. Se encontró asociación con las variables: edad del médico, institución en que labora, especialidad, si tiene cargo administrativo y si considera que priorizar es parte de su trabajo
