508 respondents from a representative Dutch sample participated in a cross-sectional, internet-based survey. The data supports a 2018 publication investigating how expected effectiveness of medication varies by administration route (oral, injection, topical) and targeted symptom (pain, itch). K.J. Peerdeman and colleagues authored the original study.
Use Cases
- Analyzing differences in expected medication effectiveness based on administration route (oral, injection, topical).
- Comparing patient expectations for pain relief versus itch relief.
- Investigating associations between expected effectiveness and perceptions of onset speed, duration, safety, and ease of use.
- Exploring the relationship between respondent characteristics (e.g., personality, medication use) and treatment expectations.
Strengths
- Data is linked to a peer-reviewed publication in the European Journal of Pain (2018).
- Survey includes a sample of 508 respondents described as representative of the Dutch population.
- Description details multiple exploratory variables, including expectations on onset, duration, safety, and cost.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data is from a single cross-sectional survey in the Netherlands, which may limit generalizability.
