| Abstract: | Background Empirical evidence demonstrates that informal patient payments are an important feature of many health care systems. However,
the study of these payments is a challenging task because of their potentially illegal and sensitive nature. The aim of this
paper is to provide a systematic review and analysis of key methodological difficulties in measuring informal patient payments. |
