Such efforts encompass a wide array of activities in many different contexts: improving air and water quality; safeguarding the food supply; reducing the risk of injury on the job, in transportation, and from consumer products; and minimizing exposure to toxic chemicals. Estimating the magnitude of the expected health and longevity benefits and reductions in mortality, morbidity, and injury risks helps policy makers decide whether particular interventions merit the expected costs associated with achieving these benefits and inform their choices among alternative strategies. \u003ci\u003eValuing Health for Regulatory Cost-Effectiveness Analysis\u003c\/i\u003e provides useful recommendations for how to measure health-related quality of- life impacts for diverse public health, safety, and environmental regulations. Public decision makers, regulatory analysts, scholars, and students in the field will find this an essential review text. It will become a standard reference for all government agencies and those consultants and contractors who support the work of regulatory programs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Institute of Medicine,Board on Health Care Services,Committee to Evaluate Measures of Health\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0309100771\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780309100779\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 382\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 6.12w x 1.02d","brand":"Institute of Medicine","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064832635135,"sku":"9780309100779","price":81.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7e37f53d-7c07-4c69-b544-3ef9371556e2.jpg?v=1768671332","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/valuing-health-institute-of-medicine-9780309100779","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
