Preferred domain #	139 (31)	90 (20)	76 (17)
Important domain##	69 (16)	86 (19)	48 (11)

# Preferred domain = at least 2 choices (a majority) of attributes in that domain and more than in any other domain.

## Important domain = domain selected as important, but with equal selections in one other domain. (In an additional 9% of the patients, all 3 domains were equally selected).
