"Well-referenced chapters..A comprehensive glossary and index round out this well-organized book. The book comprehensively examines the methods of cost-effectiveness analysis...Worthwhile addition to the library..."--The New England Journal of Medicine "At last we have a book that can serve as a manual of operations to assure a level playing field when comparing the cost-effectiveness of a preventive service with a treatment intervention or when comparing two or more prevention strategies for the same condition."--American Journal of Preventive Medicine Abstract in The American Journal of Public Health "Should be required reading for health economists, policy researchers, and clinical researchers."--Canadian Journal of Public Health "An impressive volume which is likely to be referenced in the economic evaluation literature for some years to come....This book makes an important contribution."--Health Economics "A "must-have" book for practitioners and students of economic evaluation or "cost-effective analysis". It represents a milestone in the maturation of the discipline....A major step forward...Represents the collective wisdom (consensus judgement) of the tall foreheads in discipline...instructive and practical."--Annals of RCPSC "A major step forward....This [book] represents the collective wisdom...of the tall foreheads in the discipline....Instructive and practical."--Murray Krahn, MD, MSc, FRCPC, Annals of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada "The book is clearly written with an excellent glossary and index. It is primarily for researchers and teachers, but is also accessible to those consumers and providers without a research background who are interested in how CEAs may contribute to health policy decisions."--Physiotherapy Canada
