Collect Responses to DCE Questions

Description

Collect user's responses to DCE questions.

Details

Three types of dialog boxes are provided to collect user's responses to DCE questions that are converted from the choice sets designed in the ‘Design Choice Sets for DCE’ dialog box.

The first dialog box (‘Set Options for Response Collection’) sets four options for response collections:

• Design: An R object name containing DCE choice sets generated in the ‘Design Choice Sets for DCE’ dialog box. The default name ‘DCEdesign’ is displayed automatically. The correct name should be entered if the name of DCE choice sets (DCEdesign) was changed in the dialog box for DCE design.

• Opt-out option: When the opt-out option will be used in the DCE questions, check this box.

• Save to file: When the user's responses should be saved to an external file in CSV format (.csv), check this box.

• Block number: When the DCE choice sets are divided into two or more blocks, set the block number to which the user will be assigned.

After confirming all the settings on the first dialog box, press the ‘OK’ button to continue.

A series of dialog boxes (‘Collect Responses to DCE Questions’) sequentially opens to collect the user's responses to DCE questions. In each dialog box, alternatives designed in the ‘Design Choice Sets for DCE’ dialog box are presented. The user is asked to select their most preferred alternative from the drop-down list box. After making the selection, the user clicks the ‘OK’ button to open a new dialog box corresponding to the next DCE question.

When all user responses to DCE questions have been collected, a dialog box (‘Save As’) opens if the ‘Save to file’ option was selected in the first dialog box. This saves the user's responses to an external file in CSV format.
