A survey instrument adhering design-principles DCE. mixed logit model estimate depression. probability scenarios predicted. 323 depressed analyzed. High interestingness most attribute (coefficient = 0.84, P < 0.01), followed high safety 0.79, 0.01). There gender-based daily steps-based difference in preference. optimal strategy should be fun safe, 3-4 times week, venue without restrictions, professional combination teams individuals. Based on findings, this target population prefer exercises such intrerestingness, safety, while considering deference preferences.
