Treatment preferences among people at risk of developing tuberculosis: a discrete choice experiment

We designed and implemented a discrete choice experiment (DCE) to solicit treatment preferences among adults (≥18 years) with TB symptoms attending a primary health clinic in Blantyre, Malawi. Quantitative choice modelling with multinomial logit models estimated through frequentist and Bayesian approaches investigated preferences for the management of bacteriologically-negative, but radiographically-apparent TB.

128 participants were recruited and underwent 10 DCE tasks with one task (5) repeated. The results of all the DCE tasks are uploaded with accompanying demographic data both as minimal and expanded datasets along with a data dictionary.
