Applied Health Economics for Public Health Practice and Research Short Course
We offer this two-day free online short course showcasing our research portfolio at the Public Health and Prevention Economics Research Group (PHERG). Through recorded presentations and live breakout rooms with you, the delegates, and our faculty of researchers at PHERG CHEME, we will discuss collaboratively:
- What additional challenges does applying methods of economic evaluation to public health and prevention initiatives within and outside of traditional health care systems pose and how can we address them?
- What methods are we, as health economists, using (diversifying our portfolio) to address these challenges and add to the evidence base of the relative cost-effectiveness and social value of public health and prevention interventions across sectors and across the life-course?
- How can such interventions be paid for in future and how do these methods relate to overarching policy approaches to sustainability and climate change?
