Companion Slides: Valuing Individual Health Outcomes
2022
These companion slides accompany the videos included in the teaching pack on Valuing Individual Health Outcomes, in which students learn how to assign quantitative values to health outcomes at the individual level, including: expected utility theory, the axioms of this theory, distinguishing between preference-based measures of value and health-related quality of life outcomes, measuring utility using the standard gamble, the time trade-off, and the visual analog scale, and understanding the limitations of these measures. In addition to the companion slides, materials include an instructor's note, videos, a glossary, an annotated bibliography, and sample exercises.

This teaching pack was developed by Sue J. Goldie and Eve Wittenberg at the Center for Health Decision Science, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The multimedia components were developed as part of a series of pilots in the CHDS Media Hub, led by Jake Waxman, where media-based pedagogy experiments contribute to new ways of thinking about short form content.
