The Preferred Attributes of a Trauma Team Leader: Evidence From a Discrete Choice Experiment

Leaders of a pediatric trauma team are tasked with managing rapidly changing diagnostic and treatment challenges, while ensuring the entire team functions effectively to produce optimal patient outcomes.

The purpose of this study was to elicit the trauma team leader traits and characteristics deemed of greatest utility by members of the pediatric trauma team.
