  1. CI = confidence interval
  2. 95% CIs are estimated by simulating 10,000 draws from a multivariate normal distribution defined by the variance-covariance matrix
  3. aEstimated months are beyond the range (> 9 months) included in the discrete choice experiment and should be interpreted with caution as it assumes extrapolation beyond the ranges studied
