To enable independent (orthogonal) estimation of attribute effects, minimise confounding due to interactions and ensure balanced representation of factor levels, an orthogonal fractional factorial design was employed to construct the DCE questionnaire. Data were collected using paper-based questionnaires, and MWTP estimates were derived from the resulting regression coefficients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Setting<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The DCE was conducted at Hacettepe University\u2019s Beytepe Campus in Ankara, T\u00fcrkiye, between April and May 2024.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Participants<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>375 administrative staff actively work at Hacettepe University\u2019s Beytepe Campus.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Main outcome measures<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A conditional logit model was used to estimate preferences and MWTP for different attribute levels.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The attribute with the highest MWTP was the provision of specialised oral health services ($12.26), followed by clinic cleanliness, a concerned dentist, timely treatment initiation, clear explanations provided by the dentist and contribution fee.
