EE104 Economic Evaluation of Multi-Sectoral Public Health Programmes: A Scoping Review

Abstract

Economic evaluation aims to compare costs and consequences of alternative programmes. The conventional approaches tend to capture health related outcomes, and are not well suited to evaluate public health programmes with multiple outcomes across various sectors. While there is a growing body of research that seeks to address such existing methodological challenges, an overview of these developments is still lacking.This scoping review aims to map methodological literature, appraise the quality of applied case-studies and identify priorities for further research of economic evaluation of multi-sectoral public health programmes.
