Discrete choice experiments (DCEs) are a commonly used method in health and healthcare research to investigate preferences and decision making. Reporting of DCEs in health is highly variable, with multiple systematic reviews having called for improvement in reporting. Reporting checklists are routinely used (and required for publication) in other areas of health economics, but the only previously existing reporting checklists for DCEs relate to components rather than the whole study. This presentation will outlined the development of the DIRECT reporting checklist for DCEs in health, and provide insights into how it can be used. Development of the checklist included a scoping review, Delphi study among DCE experts, and piloting among less experienced DCE practitioners. The ultimate aim is to improve the quality of reporting of DCEs in health, and thereby to allow readers and reviewers to assess all important aspects of the methods, and to facilitate comparison across studies by making descriptions of methods more consistent.
