POPLHLTH 720 : Cost Effectiveness Evaluation

Postgraduate course

Project description

This course provides students with an understanding of economic evaluation generally and of cost-effectiveness in particular. It focuses on the use of decision analytic modelling to provide a broad picture of likely costs and outcomes for use in decision making. No prior knowledge of economics is necessary (although it may be helpful). It is relevant for students interested in public health and decision making. This course makes a lot of use of Microsoft Excel. If you have not used this program before, it is highly recommended that you use some online material to make sure that you are familiar with it before the course starts. Whilst I can provide some support, this doesn't always 'gel' for everyone and the course is much tougher if you are unable to gain familiarity with this.
