“…The discrete choice experiment (DCE) has become a commonly used, stated preference technique in health economics and health policy analysis because it allows not only to quantify the extent to which respondents trade off different telehealth attributes, but also to estimate the willingness to pay (WTP) for a change in the level of the preferred attribute and to predict the probability of choosing a particular telehealth service alternative [15][16][17]. Studies that have used DCE to measure respondents' preferences for telehealth services versus traditional healthcare have typically found that cost, speed of access to care, including long-term waiting time (waiting for an available appointment) and short-term waiting time (waiting on the day of the appointment), quality of consultation, and continuity of care are important factors influencing the choice of healthcare services [13,[18][19][20][21][22][23]. The majority of these studies found that patients preferred traditional healthcare, lower cost, shorter waiting time, and more familiar doctors.…”
