900 rated or chosen profiles from 150 respondents, in up to 6 tasks of 1 profile varying on 5 attributes.
| Description | Irish general practitioners (n = 150) read 6 vignettes of a 5-year-old with fever and cough varying repeat presentation, time and day, parental request for referral, parental capacity to cope and access to a rapid paediatric clinic, and decided whether to refer the child to the emergency department. |

| Randomization restrictions | yes (stated by the source): fixed blocked design: 12 vignettes in 2 blocks of 6 (blocks 2/4 are another study); only these 12 level combinations occur and level shares are unequal (e.g. Friday 3 of 12 vignettes) |
| Task order | inferred from row order |
| Profile position | recorded in the deposit |
Because the attribute levels were not randomized independently, an estimator has to account for the restriction; a plain difference in means across levels can mislead. Task order or profile position was rebuilt from row order; analyses of position or task order should leave it out.
Outcomes:
