Over the last 15 years, discrete choice experiments (DCEs) have proved a very useful technique both within the framework of an economic evaluation, and for modelling behaviour and preferences in a variety of contexts within health economics. This book has presented important issues in the design and analysis of DCEs (Part 1), demonstrated their application in a number of different settings in the health and health care arena (Part 2) and looked at some emerging methodological issues (Part 3).
