Activity Title	Willingness-to-pay for a hypothetical Ebola vaccine in Indonesia: A cross-sectional study in Aceh
Details	Ebola virus disease (EVD), formerly called as Ebola hemorrhagic fever, is a disease characterized by high mortality in human populations. EVD is a highly fatal disease and can be economically burdensome in affected countries. The case fatality rate of EVD ranges from 25% to 100%, with an average of approximately 68%. Development of a safe and effective Ebola vaccine is a key component to future programs to control EVDn Objectives Course Objective Some Ebola vaccines have been developed and tested in phase III clinical trials. However, assessment of whether public have willingness to purchase or not, especially in unaffected areas, is lacking. The aim of this study was to determine willingness to pay (WTP) for a hypothetical Ebola vaccine in Indonesia.. A cross-sectional study was conducted from 1 August to 30 December 2015 in five cities in Aceh province of Indonesia. Patients’ family members who visited outpatient departments were approached and interviewed about their sociodemographic characteristics, knowledge of Ebola, attitude towards vaccination practice and their WTP for a hypothetical Ebola vaccine.
