Description

Distributional cost-effectiveness analysis is a crucial tool for healthcare and public health organizations seeking to make fairer decisions with better outcomes. This practical guide provides a flexible suite of economic methods for quantifying the equity consequences of health programmes in high-, middle- and low-income countries.

By simulating and evaluating distributions, this handbook offers systematic technical guidance for researchers, analysts, and practitioners to tackle the trade-offs between efficiency and equity objectives. It also addresses the challenges of handling uncertainty and disagreement about values, making it an essential resource for those working in the field.

Accessible to a broad audience, including postgraduate students, analysts, and health sector professionals, this book provides an overview of the field and accompanying hands-on training exercises to help users apply the methods in their own work.
