Interestingly, youth in the first focus groups that elicited risk-based information were somewhat uncooperative and eager to leave the room, where as those in the later focus groups were more willing to stay and participate, some commenting that the experience of participating had been in many ways, therapeutic.
A Likert-type scale was used to elicit risk perceptions.
We used the nominal group technique (NGT) as a method for eliciting risk factors.
Providers are inconsistent about eliciting risk factor information and about testing and referring patients to specialists (12 ).
To our knowledge this is the first epidemiological study which has attempted to elicit risk factors for VIA positivity and screening attendance in Tanzania.
However, TNFα is also an essential component of host defense against pathogenic viruses, bacteria, and fungi, and therapeutic inhibition of TNFα may elicit risk of opportunistic infections [ 7, 8], in particular, tuberculosis [ 9, 10].
Finally, throughout the history of eliciting risk estimates, physicians have both been uncomfortable in providing numerical values and have expressed the need to communicate the uncertainty in those estimates[ 13].
Note that the test proposed here is in many respects similar to the Certainty Equivalence Test (CET) used in experimental economics (and beyond) as a means to elicit risk attitudes (see Dohmen et al., 2010 for a recent application).
30 Those features together suggest that the EET might be suitable as a tool in experimental economics to disentangle the impact of distributional preferences from that of other factors thereby helping to interpret data from other (unrelated) experiments (similar to the choice list tests used to elicit risk attitudes; see Holt and Laury, 2002, or Dohmen et al., 2010, 2011).
