Consumer preference factors for aesthetic medicine services in Malaysia
The factors including personal desires, physical concerns, psychosocial influences, social media exposure, influence from others, and significant life events are evaluated through a survey using a Likert scale to assess participants' level of agreement with statements related to the respective factors. Responses are rated on a 5-point scale (1 = strongly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 = not sure, 4 = agree, 5 = strongly agree).
Measured: at point of enrolment (baseline)
