This report from RAND reviews decision-support tools, including models and nonmodeling approaches, that are relevant to infectious disease prevention, detection, and response and aligns these tools with real-world policy questions that the tools can help address. This overview is designed to help modelers and other technical experts understand the questions that policymakers will raise and the decisions they must make. The report also presents policymakers with the capabilities and limitations of the different tools that may…

BriefPublication 2023Simulation Modeling to Guide Priority Setting in Global Maternal Health
This study developed the Global Maternal Health (GMatH) microsimulation model to evaluate maternal health policy …
This study developed the Global Maternal Health (GMatH) microsimulation model to evaluate maternal health policy interventions across 200 countries and territories from 1990 to 2050. It addresses challenges in measuring maternal mortality by simulating individual women's reproductive lifecycles. Various interventions, including family planning and facility-based care, were simulated to compare against a baseline scenario projecting the global maternal mortality ratio (MMR) to decrease to 167 per 100,000 live births by 2030. Results suggest that while…

This chapter summarizes the findings of a systematic search of the cost-effectiveness literature on interventions to improve reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health. Interventions for newborn health, treatment of febrile illness, immunization against preventable diseases, and micronutrient interventions remain among the most cost-effective and affordable. Other studies explore how to provide existing interventions using new platforms to increase outreach or decrease cost per person covered, or both. Interventions provided in the community may achieve both purposes to…

This review article is part of a special supplement on “Comprehensive Control of HPV Infections …
This review article is part of a special supplement on “Comprehensive Control of HPV Infections and Related Diseases.” At the time of its writing, prophylactic vaccination against human papillomavirus (HPV) in pre-adolescent females had been introduced in most developed countries, supported by modeled evaluations that had almost universally found vaccination of pre-adolescent females to be cost-effective. Vaccination of pre-adolescent males had been shown to be cost-effective at a cost per vaccinated individual of ~US$400-500 if…
