Course Description

This is an online self-study course focusing on methods for analysing equity in the distribution of health programme costs and effects and trade-offs between equity and cost-effectiveness. The course is aimed at health economists and health professionals with experience of health economic evaluation, who wish to learn how to use more specialised methods for analysing distributional equity impacts and trade-offs. It is designed for participants who are familiar with standard methods of cost-effectiveness analysis, for example those who have already attended our short courses in Decision Modelling for Health Economic Evaluation. It is envisaged that participants will currently be undertaking cost-effectiveness analysis, or planning to do so in the near future. The course consists of five modules, with each module requiring about three to four hours of time commitment for self-paced study - totalling 15 to 20 hours altogether. Students registering for this “on demand” version of the course will have full access to all teaching materials for self-study, but will not have interactive support from tutors and faculty or the opportunities for networking with other students provided in the “live” version.
