Exemplar Applications of DCEs to Health Psychology

Aim	Example Question	DCE Data of Interest	Potential Implications
Design Patient-Centered Interventions	“Which intervention attributes/levels impact the preferences of my patient population for a physical activity intervention?”	Attributes/levels with statistically significant coefficients	Design the intervention to include significant attributes/levels
	“What is the relative importance of HIV prevention program attributes/levels among my patient population?”	Relative magnitude of coefficients for each attribute/level	Deliver HIV prevention program in a manner that aligns with attributes/levels with the largest coefficients
Adapt Existing Interventions	“Do the attributes/levels of an established smoking cessation intervention align with the preferences of my patient population?”	Alignment of statistically significant attributes/levels with those of established intervention	Modify established intervention as necessary to align with significant attributes/levels
Prioritize Patient-Centered Services	“What is the relative importance of psychosocial service attributes/levels among my patient population?”	Relative magnitude of coefficients for each attribute/level	Prioritize efforts to deliver psychosocial services reflecting the attributes/levels with the largest coefficients
Develop Multiple Intervention Packages	“Are there segments of my patient population with different preferences for an intervention targeting depressive symptoms?”	Preferred attributes/levels for each segment	Develop multiple intervention package options that align with the attributes/levels of each segment
Simulate Intervention Uptake	“Would adding telehealth services have the potential to increase the uptake of individual therapy service in my patient population?”	Percentage of patients preferring telehealth over in-person individual therapy	Add telehealth services if simulated uptake is deemed a significant improvement over current uptake
