In this teaching pack on Introduction to Decision Analysis, students are provided a basic introduction to the field of decision analysis in the context of public health. After differentiating simple "relatively automatic" decisions from those that might require more systematic analysis, students are introduced to the core elements of a decision analysis (e.g., objectives, alternatives, probabilities, and outcomes), and the basic steps of a decision analysis. Materials include an instructor's note, videos, companion slides, a glossary,…

In this teaching pack on Economic Evaluation: Cost-Effectiveness Analysis I, students are introduced to economic evaluation as it relates to public health and learn to distinguish between cost-effectiveness and benefit-cost analyses. They learn the concepts of opportunity cost, incremental cost-effectiveness analysis and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios. Finally, students are shown the steps used to conduct a shopping spree cost-effectiveness analysis designed to maximize health under a budget constraint. Materials include an instructor's note, videos, companion slides, a…

In this teaching pack on Economic Evaluation: Cost-Effectiveness Analysis II, students are introduced to the concepts of the ‘competing choice’ analysis where the choice is between mutually exclusive options and how to recognize strong and weak dominance. Additionally, students learn to plot the results of the competing choice analysis, including how to display dominated options, and finally, students are shown how to structure, conduct and interpret results of a cost-effectiveness analysis that combines the ‘shopping…

This is a user guide on the analysis of data (including best-worst and best-best data) generated from discrete-choice experiments (DCEs), comprising a theoretical review of the main choice models followed by practical advice on estimation and post-estimation. Authors also provide a review of standard software. Authors argue that choice of modelling approach depends on the research questions, study design and constraints in terms of quality/quantity of data and that decisions made in relation to analysis of…
