{"product_id":"distributional-cost-effectiveness-analysis-richard-cookson-9780198838197","title":"Distributional Cost-Effectiveness Analysis: Quantifying Health Equity Impacts and Trade-Offs","description":"Distributional cost-effectiveness analysis aims to help health care and public health organisations make fairer decisions with better outcomes. Whereas standard cost-effectiveness analysis provides information about total costs and effects, distributional cost-effectiveness analysis provides additional information about fairness in the distribution of costs and effects - who gains, who loses, and by how much. It can also provide information about the trade-offs that sometimes occur between efficiency objectives, such as improving total health, and equity objectives, such as reducing unfair inequality in health. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is a practical guide to a flexible suite of economic methods for quantifying the equity consequences of health programmes in high-, middle- and low-income countries. The methods can be tailored and combined in various ways to provide useful information to different decision-makers in different countries with different distributional equity concerns. The handbook is primarily aimed at postgraduate students and analysts specialising in cost-effectiveness analysis but is also accessible to a broader audience of health sector academics, practitioners, managers, policymakers and stakeholders. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs well as offering an overview for research commissioners, users, and producers, the book includes systematic technical guidance on how to simulate and evaluate distributions, with accompanying hands-on spreadsheet training exercises, and discussions about how to handle uncertainty about facts and disagreement about values, and the future challenges facing this young and rapidly evolving field of study.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Cookson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198838190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198838197\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Richard Cookson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43978657005823,"sku":"9780198838197","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1d100eaa-fb02-45f1-ac6c-de637e35cd1e.jpg?v=1683242512","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/distributional-cost-effectiveness-analysis-richard-cookson-9780198838197","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
