“…DCEs typically collected preferences of a single population (42/49; 86%), most frequently the general public with mixed prior experience of screening (36/49; 73%), followed by HCPs (10/49; 20%) [41,51,52,60,61,66,67,70,74,77] with patients (9/49; 18%) [29,30,33,34,38,40,70,72,77] being considered least often. The target population of each study was reported and classified according to the authors' own definition; therefore the definition of "patients" varied and included those attending screening appointments or purchasing tests [29,30,33,34,38,40,70] and those attending appointments for other reasons [72,77].…”
