DCE has been used in the detection of regulatory and economic events such as environmental regulation enforcement and determining tax evasion. It is designed specifically to factor out those elements that affect the underlying condition from those that affect its inspection. The results of the initial DCE estimation will be validated using a second DCE estimation on follow-up data from further tests on the same women. This project would appear to be the first opportunity to use follow-up data to validate DCE results. This project is supported by Grant No.
