Discrete choice experiments (DCEs) are increasingly used for measuring these preferences by asking people to engage in trade-offs when making decisions. By revealing what matters most to different groups, DCEs can inform the design of interventions and strategies that are more acceptable, feasible, and likely to succeed. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with the foundation to design, conduct, and evaluate a DCE from start to finish.	1 event 23 1 event, 23 2026-04-22 Measuring What Matters Most: Discrete Choice Experiments for Eliciting Preferences in Medicine and Global Health	2 events 24 2 events, 24 2026-04-22 Measuring What Matters Most: Discrete Choice Experiments for Eliciting Preferences in Medicine and Global Health 8:30 am - 1:00 pm Bay Area World Malaria Day Forum April 24 @ 8:30 am - 1:00 pm Bay Area World Malaria Day Forum The Bay Area World Malaria Day Forum hosted by the Center for Malaria and Vector-Borne Diseases (CMVBD) at the UCSF Institute for Global Health Sciences will take place on Friday, April 24, from 9 AM to noon PT at UCSF’s Mission Bay Campus.
