Stated preference techniques including the discrete choice experiment (DCE) provide a fundamental and increasingly popular method to evaluate the trade-offs people are willing to make between different characteristics of health and health care [1]. The development of discrete choice studies is an iterative process involving a number of dependent stages [2]. As a consequence, the implementation of these studies demands a range of diverse skills, spanning both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. Perhaps the most elusive of these skills for many researchers and practitioners has been experimental design, that is, “the ...
