A schematic diagram to illustrate the weighting and prioritization process used for prioritization of zoonotic diseases based on health professional and student opinion in Switzerland.

<p>The final disease score for each zoonosis was obtained by matching the levels for the different criteria with the respective mean utility values obtained from a choice-based Conjoint-Analysis questionnaire.</p

The eight criteria, and the three levels used to describe each one of them, included in a Choice-Based Conjoint Analysis questionnaire on zoonotic disease prioritization in Switzerland, and their Rank (based on the Importance Score), the Importance Score (and Standard Deviation), and the Mean Utility Values of each criterion level, assigned by the health professional and student groups, respectively.

The 16 notifiable or emerging zoonoses which were ranked using the sum of the Mean Utility Values obtained from a Choice-Based Conjoint Analysis questionnaire administered to both health professionals and students, and their relative rank difference, in a study on prioritization of zoonoses in Switzerland.
