Cost Effectiveness in Health and Medicine
CEAs (cost-effectiveness analyses) are used by decision makers in the health sector to make enlightened evaluations and this book provides an in depth look at how to evaluate the evaluator. The book is aimed specifically at Public health specialists.
Noninvasive Technologies for the Diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease in Women
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality for women in the United States. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), approximately one in three female adults have some form of cardiovascular disease. AHA suggests there is evidence showing that women at risk for coronary artery disease (CAD) are less often referred for the appropriate diagnostic test than are men. Coronary anatomy and pathology have traditionally been defined and identified by coronary angiography, a procedure that is indicated in patients who have chest pain and are at high risk for CAD. For intermediate-risk patients, clinicians have a wide range of noninvasive technologies (NITs) to choose from that ...
Use of Bayesian Techniques in Randomized Clinical Trials
The use of Bayesian statistical approaches has gained broader acceptance within the clinical trial community. The impact of these methods on CMS decisional contexts and policy-level decisionmaking however was uncertain. Our analyses explore the main proclaimed advantages of Bayesian statistics (namely, the use of prior information, sample size determination, borrowing strength from different trials, and sequential monitoring of trials) and provide examples of decisionmaking situations where the findings reached using these approaches both agree with and differ from findings reached using frequentist statistical techniques. Our findings confirm that, like classical techniques, Bayesian approa...

Agenda for the Nation
More powerful and affluent today than ever, the United States has promising opportunities to influence the course of history. Yet these prospects are shadowed by significant perils and burdens. In this visionary book, leading scholars from the Brookings Institution and other prominent research organizations and universities analyze the major domestic and foreign policy problems facing the nation over the next five to ten years. The challenges on the domestic front are formidable: assuring fair but affordable access to health care, shoring up retirement income for an aging population, encouraging long-term economic growth, easing the growing pains of an increasingly diverse society, and recon...
Economic Dimensions of Personalized and Precision Medicine
Personalized and precision medicine (PPM)—the targeting of therapies according to an individual’s genetic, environmental, or lifestyle characteristics—is becoming an increasingly important approach in health care treatment and prevention. The advancement of PPM is a challenge in traditional clinical, reimbursement, and regulatory landscapes because it is costly to develop and introduces a wide range of scientific, clinical, ethical, and socioeconomic issues. PPM raises a multitude of economic issues, including how information on accurate diagnosis and treatment success will be disseminated and who will bear the cost; changes to physician training to incorporate genetics, probability an...

Integrative Learning in US Undergraduate Public Health Education: Effective High-Impact Practices, Volume II
This Research Topic is Volume 2 in the Integrative Learning in US Undergraduate Public Health Education: Effective High-Impact Practices series:Integrative Learning in US Undergraduate Public Health Education: Effective High-Impact Practices Undergraduate public health degree programs have flourished over the last decade in the United States; from 1995 to 2016, for example, the number of related undergraduate degrees awarded annually increased almost ten-fold, from around 1,300 to nearly 13,000. The Council on Education for Public Health established initial accreditation criteria for standalone baccalaureate programs in 2013 in tandem with these increases and in 2015, the Association of Scho...
