Table 3 Use of discriminator in vignettes

Respondents’ answer correctly indicated that:	Vignettes in which final SATS was:				All Cases (%)
Respondents’ answer correctly indicated that:	Correct (%) N = 2883	Under-Triaged (%) N = 1506	Over-Triaged (%) N = 666	Missing (%)^a	All Cases (%)
A discriminator was, or was not, needed	2309 (80.1)	851 (56.9)	379 (56.9)	31 (0.9)	3570 (70.0)^b
Discriminator was correctly explained	1912 (66.3)	392 (26.0)	202 (30.3)	15 (0.6)^c	2521 (58.8)^c

Row percentages do not add to 100% because multiple vignettes had more than 1 discriminator
^aMissing % = n from missing / n from row total
^bN = 5100 total vignette responses (i.e., 50 vignettes each with 102 respondents)
^cN = 4284 total eligible vignette responses (i.e., 42 vignettes each with 102 respondents)
