Discrete Choice Experiment Versus Best–Worst Scaling: An Empirical Comparison in Eliciting Young People’s Preferences for Web-Based Mental Health Interventions
While both methods found cost was the most important attribute associated with engagement with W-MHIs, differences in the ranking of other attributes suggest that DCE and BWS-2 are not necessarily interchangeable. Increased acceptability by study participants of the DCE format suggests that this technique may have more merit than BWS-2-at least in the current study's context. Further research is required to identify the optimal method for determining the relative importance of attributes.
