As public accountability has increased and resources have become scarcer, public health, like clinical medicine, has been forced to re-examine the benefits and costs of its activities. Decision and economic analysis are basic tools in carrying out that mission. These methods have become standard practice in clinical medicine and health services research. This book , now in its second edition, was written in an effort to apply and adapt that experience with public health situations.The book was originally written to introduce Centers for Disease Control and Prevention staff to the concepts of decision and economic analysis, to provide guidance on methods to maximize comparability of studios, and to provide access to frequently used reference information. It has been adapted to meet the needs of scientists and managers in state and local health departments and managed care organizations as well as students in schools of public health and clinicians for an introductory text --a text that shows how these methods can be applied in population-based practice, to facilitate better comparability of studies, and to solidify understanding of the scientific basis for use of these tools in decision making. Decision makers will learn how these studies are conducted so they can be critical consumers-- understanding the strengths and limitations- and apply findings to policy and practice.The second edition updates and expands upon the standard methodology for condcuting prevention effectiveness analyses. Each chapter has been revised or re-written. The chapters on measuring effectiveness, decision analysis, and making information useful for decision makers as well as several appendices are entirely new.

Excerpt from A Guide for Evaluating Prevention Effectiveness This Technical Report is intended to be used I as a basis for training evaluator-practitioner teams to collaborate in the design and implementation of useful evaluations. It is organized around the idea that a useful evaluation depends on prevention evaluators working closely with practitioners to design feasible evaluations. Practitioners should then support evaluators in their efforts to assess accurately the nature and effects of prevention programs. This document presents both general materials on how evaluation fits into the practice of prevention and technical details of implementing an evaluation plan. The combination will give prevention staff common ground on which to build. Chapter 1 of this guide asserts that useful evaluations are tailored to intervention type and stage of development. This information will be useful to preventionists as well as evaluators. Chapter 2 describes types of evaluation and evaluation outcomes. It also discusses the problem of credibly attributing observed effects to the prevention intervention. Practitioners and evaluators alike should be familiar with this basic information. Chapter 3 outlines several experimental and quasi-experimental evaluation designs. Though of limited value to experienced evaluators, the information will be useful to prevention administrators who may lack understanding of various research designs.

This new volume of the IARC Handbooks of Cancer Prevention in Tobacco Control presents a critical review and evaluation of the evidence by 25 international experts from twelve countries on the economics, epidemiology, public policy and tobacco control aspects of tax and price policies. The working group draws conclusions about the effectiveness of tax and price measures to control tobacco use in the population. The Handbook covers an overview of tobacco taxation; industry pricing strategies and other industry initiatives diluting the effects of taxes on consumption; tax, price and aggregated demand for tobacco, as well as demand at the individual level in adults, young people and the economically disadvantaged; tax avoidance and tax evasion and the economic and health impacts of tobacco taxation. This body of evidence and the consensus evaluation of 18 concluding statements on the impact of interventions to increase the price of tobacco products, can assist policy makers, government officials, evaluators and researchers working in tobacco control and disease prevention, to base their decisions on the latest scientific evidence.
