The Role of Perceived Utility of Full Health in Age Weighting
2022, Value in HealthThe efficiency-equity trade-off, self-interest, and moral principles in health and safety valuation
2019, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :Lindholm et al. (1996) examine the requirements for meaningful empirical estimates of the trade-off, and in a pilot study, over two thirds of the 68 Swedish politicians responsible for healthcare that took part in their study stated that they would be willing to give up efficiency to achieve more equity. Patrick et al. (1973) and Nord (1992) use a Person Trade-Off approach, a framework for eliciting trade-offs. These trade-offs are embedded in choices between helping different people to achieve different levels of health.
Utility Measures in Pediatric Temporary Health States: Comparison of Prone Positioning Valuation Through 5 Assessment Tools
2019, Value in Health Regional IssuesCitation Excerpt :In SG, the subjects are offered a scenario of a particular number of life-years in a constant impaired health state and are asked a gamble between perfect health and death.28 We requested the participants to consider the prone positioning scenario, and then a new imaginary modality of treatment was introduced to them with either of these 2 outcomes: complete health with probability of p or death with probability of 1 − p. To prevent anchoring effect,32 the probabilities for both the perfect health and death were repeated in each turn until the respondent became indifferent between the 2 alternatives. At this point, the probability of the health state was considered as the preferred value of the health condition.30
Robust decision making using a general utility set
2018, European Journal of Operational ResearchA history that goes hand in hand: Reflections on the development of health economics and the role played by Social Science & Medicine, 1967–2017
2018, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :Since the return to a non-sectioned journal in 1982, there have been many health economics papers published, with a number of outstanding contributions to the discipline from across the globe. Some of the highly-cited contributions include papers focusing on issues around: equity and inequality (Deaton and Lubotsky, 2003; Goddard and Smith, 2001; Hawe and Shiell, 2000; McIntyre et al., 2006; Morris et al., 2005; Van Doorslaer and Gerdtham, 2003; Wagstaff et al., 1991); agency relationships (Charles et al., 1997, 1999; Gafni et al., 1998); health care systems (Gilson, 2003); determinants of health (Evans and Stoddart, 1990; Filmer and Pritchett, 1999; Ng et al., 2009); cost and resource use measurement (Koopmanschap and van Ineveld, 1992; Zhang et al., 2011) and its determinants (Dunlop et al., 2000; French et al., 2000; McDonald and Kennedy, 2004); measuring health outcomes (Drummond et al., 1993; Loomes and McKenzie, 1989; Marra et al., 2005; Nord, 1992; Robinson et al., 1997; van Agt et al., 1994) and broader wellbeing in the health context (Blanchflower and Oswald, 2008; Coast et al., 2008a; Ryan, 1999); and methods for economic evaluation more generally (Gafni and Birch, 2006). Whilst shifts in published topics in Social Science & Medicine to a great extent mirror the broader concerns of health economists (with, for example, extensive publication on Quality Adjusted- Life Years (QALYs) in the late 1980s and 1990s), a number of the economics contributions to the journal have been characterised by being somewhat outside the mainstream of health economics.
