Overview
UCL's Understanding health economics in clinical trials course was designed in response to the need identified working on trials with various trials units in UCL and elsewhere, as well as in response to requests from colleagues across our associated trials units.
Key facts
- It was the first of its kind when first launched in 2019, and is intended specifically for non-health economists working in trials who wish to better understand the health economics in and health economist on their field.
- The course is very applied and discusses practical questions of how to facilitate a high-quality economic evaluation in a clinical trial, as well as addressing some common queries arising from our trial teams around the reasons underpinning the purpose of economic evaluation, with a strong focus on providing evidence for policy makers.
Programme Structure
Courses include:
- What is health economic evaluation and why do we do it?
- Key concepts of economic evaluation: Opportunity cost, incremental analysis, and outcomes/consequences of health interventions
- Health economics in the study protocol
- Capture and valuation of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) to assess quality of life
- Utility scores and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs)
- Capture and valuation of resource use and costs
- The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) and challenges in analysis
- Interpretation of results and presentation to policy makers
