Considerations for Assessing the Economic Value of Population Health Interventions
There are few resources available that discuss the relevance and appropriateness of various approaches to economic assessment for population health interventions or provide guidance on their selection and use. This reflection paper provides an approach to the economic assessment of population health interventions.
It is based on a targeted review of the literature that focused particularly on approaches used in the field of obesity prevention and mental health promotion. The paper is also based on interviews with leading Canadian and international experts in health economics and in specific approaches such as social return on investment (SROI).
