  1. NA not applicable – the attribute did not appear in the particular question
  2. Conv conventional medicine, CM complementary medicine
  3. aThe corresponding questions, whether seen in forward or reverse order, are combined here and presented as if the forward order has been seen by the participant (ie. question 1 data in the forward order and question 8 data in the reverse order has been aggregated)
  4. bDosage was considered to be a fixed attribute (the levels did not change) – it was included for realism
  5. cDenominator is 31 participants in question 8 due to missing eye-tracking data for participant 124
