Random-Parameters Logit Model Estimates: Scaled Conditional Relative Attribute Importance. A US Adolescents (N = 197). B US Caregivers (N = 207). C UK Adolescents (N = 100). D UK Caregivers (N = 200). CI Confidence interval, DCE Discrete-choice experiment. Note: Attributes are presented in the order in which they appeared in the DCE questions. For each attribute, the conditional relative importance was computed as the difference between the preference weights on the most and the least preferred level. Once computed, the conditional relative importance estimates were rescaled so that their sum was equal to 100; therefore, each one can be interpreted as the proportion of utility that can be gained by improving one attribute from the least to the most preferred level relative to the maximum utility gained from improving all attributes from the least to the most preferred level. The standard errors and the 95% CI for the differences were calculated using the delta method. The 95% CI around the point estimate is represented by the black vertical bars on top of the blue bars. For example, looking at Fig. 3A, the largest CRI is improvement in symptom control, followed by stomachache, nausea, and throwing up; time until next flare-up; headaches; mode and frequency of administration; and need for combination therapy
