This course will enable students to have a solid introduction to the theory, methods, and application of economic evaluation in health care with a specific focus on decision analysis and cost-effectiveness analysis. alternative approaches to modelling research questions for these fields. Approaches include calculation of costs and effectiveness measures using standard modelling methods. Compares outputs as a result of the decision tree and Markov modelling and introduces sensitivity analysis.
