Table 2 Example of a survey vignette
From: Decision making preferences in the medical encounter – a factorial survey design
A patient consults his/her physician because of a mild disease that doesn't affect him right now but could lead to negative consequences in the future. There is no time pressure for beginning the treatment. There are various therapeutic options. Treatments are partly well tolerated and may partly have severe adverse effects. There is good evidence for all therapies. The patient in general wishes to participate in medical decisions. |
