a95 % confidence intervals generated using non-parametric bootstrapping (5000 replications)
bMarginal rate of substitution values = β-coefficient for attribute/β-coefficient for cost attribute
cThough the cost contribution attribute was not significant to parents (P = 0.092 [>0.05]), everything being equal, parents preferred lower cost contribution; the parents’ MRS values were calculated using the cost contribution attribute as the denominator to show how parents trade-off the cost contribution attribute against the other attributes. This allowed comparison with the disabled child sample MRS values
