Embedding a Choice Experiment in an Online Decision Aid or Tool: Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Decision aids empower patients to understand how treatment options match their preferences. Choice experiments, a method to clarify values used within decision aids, present patients with hypothetical scenarios to reveal their preferences for treatment characteristics. Given the rise in research embedding choice experiments in decision tools and the emergence of novel developments in embedding methodology, a scoping review is warranted.

Objective

This scoping review examines how choice experiments are embedded into decision tools and how these tools are evaluated, to identify best practices.

Methods

This scoping review followed the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines. Searches
