Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- This course provides an overview of how data can be structured and analysed to evaluate health sector inventions using methods from epidemiology and economics.
- Outputs of such modelling include the quality adjusted life years (QALYs) gained or disability adjusted life years (DALYs) averted, and net health expenditure, for actual interventions; by contrast, burden of disease studies tell us what DALYs could be averted for hypothetical shifts of risk factor distributions to the ideal.
