The table shows the output from the mixed multinominal logit regression model. The log‐odds represent the effect of the attributes’ levels relative to the mean effect of the different levels of the attribute in the respondent sample. A positive output for a level illustrates a positive effect on parental preferences, compared to the first attribute's level. The p‐value represents the statistical significance of the attribute's level effect (either positive or negative) relative to the reference level. To obtain the relative likelihood of choosing for a hypothetical scenario, one needs to sum the log‐odds of the levels of interest and take the exponential (elog odds = odds ratio).
Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; NA, not applicable; SDD, seizure detection device.
