Figure 2. Standard gamble (SG) algorithm comparing treatment 1 to treatment 2.

Figure 2

This algorithm was used to assess the patient’s SG score. The research nurse started at step 1 by asking the patient if she would prefer treatment 1, which would result in 100% clinical remission and a 0% chance of nausea/vomiting, or treatment 2 which would result in all patients experiencing diarrhea (the health state being tested) followed by complete clinical remission. The research nurse would continue going through each outlined step until the patient stated that treatment 2 was better than treatment 1 or that the patient considered both treatment options to be equal.
