The need for evidence-based decisions that take account of both
effectiveness and economics is greater now than ever. Using case
studies and illustrative examples throughout the authors describe
how the activities and outputs of evidence synthesis, systematic
review, economic analysis and decision-making interact within and
across different spheres of health and social policy and practice.
Expanding on the first edition the book now covers approaches to
evidence synthesis that combine economics and systematic review
methods in the applied fields of social welfare, education and
criminal justice, as well as health care. Written by economists and
health services researchers closely involved in developing
evidence-based policy and practice it showcases current
state-of-the-art methodology and will be an invaluable read for all
policy-makers and practitioners using evidence to inform decisions,
analysts conducting research to support decisions and students
discovering the need for evidence-based decisions to incorporate
economic perspectives and evidence.
