Figure 1 Concept of discrete choice experiments illustrated using a choice set as presented in questionnaire. Nine different choice sets were presented to each respondent, each consisting of two BR alternatives (A and B) and a ‘no reconstruction’ option (C) to allow patients to ‘opt out’. BR alternatives were characterised by six attributes, which in turn had three possible attribute levels. Some random combinations of attribute levels cannot be related to an actual technique. Patients were instructed to consider these hypothetical options as realistic alternatives and to choose the option that appealed most to them.
