The DCE approach was employed to elicit values and regression techniques used to estimate a model that could predict index scores for all 243 possible outcomes.
In ecosystem services and landscape research, both monetary and non-monetary preference studies are applied to elicit values that people assign to landscapes.
In this paper we use willingness to pay (WTP) to elicit values for private insurance covering treatment for four different health problems.
We assessed the relative merits of using VAS and CRS to elicit values by comparing their distributions, response rates, and expected utilities expressed as relative importance scores (RIS), as described in Appendix S1.
When eliciting utilities for use in health economic evaluation, the choice of whether to elicit values direct from patients or from the lay population is contentious [ 8].
The new instrument combines a conventional TTO to elicit values for states regarded better than dead and a lead-time TTO for states worse than dead.
This approach, which has been widely used in valuation studies of the EQ-5D-3L, wells well to elicit values for states that are preferred to dead (i.e., have values between 0 and 1).
Even when researchers have used the same technique to elicit values for the same health states, such as time trade-off (TTO), large differences in produced values have been found [ 1].
The time trade-off (TTO) method is commonly used to elicit values for health states that can subsequently be used in the calculation of quality adjusted life-years (QALYs).
Three of the first CV studies for acute health responses used bidding procedures to elicit values for respiratory-symptom days, with average estimates from $5 to $25 depending on the symptom, its severity, and whether a complex of symptoms is experienced [ 116- 118].
