Powerpoint presentation and Excel file (Oct 30, 2011 Version) from workshop hosted by E. Broughton. As the cost of health and human service programs far outpaces our willingness and ability to pay, the importance of, and demand for, measuring their economic efficiency continues to grow. This workshop focuses on building basic skills in cost-effectiveness analysis for health and human service interventions. You will be taught the basic types of cost-effectiveness analysis and will learn the mathematical model that underlies robust economic evaluations that are crucial to decision makers. We will discuss interpretation and presentation of the results as well as the limitations inherent in this field of evaluation. The session will be interactive and you should come prepared with a program that you are familiar with that is suited for cost-effectiveness analysis. You will receive practical, problem-solving experience with this exercise and will be immediately able to use the skills learned in the workshop in your evaluation activities. You will learn: What types of economic evaluation are available to the evaluator of health and human service programs; What cost-effectiveness is; The four essential questions that need to be addressed before a Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA) can begin; How to do a simple CEA; How to interpret and communicate the results of a CEA effectively. #CostsEffectivenessBenefitsandEconomics #2011Conference #HowTo
