Prevention Effectiveness: Guide to Decision Analysis and Economic Evaluation, 2nd Edition

2002

This book was originally written to introduce Centers for Disease Control and Prevention staff to the concepts of decision and economic analysis, to provide guidance on methods to maximize comparability of studios, and to provide access to frequently used reference information. It has been adapted to meet the needs of scientists and managers in state and local health departments and managed care organizations as well as students in schools of public health and clinicians for an introductory text --a text that shows how these methods can be applied in population-based practice, to facilitate better comparability of studies, and to solidify understanding of the scientific basis for use of these tools in decision making.

  • Ch 1: Introduction
  • Ch 2: Study Design
  • Ch 3: Measuring Effectiveness
