The Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience, Health Service and Population Research Department presents the Economic Evaluation in Mental Health Summer School course 2016.

This two-day course aims to provide students with an understanding of economic evaluation in mental health and its relevance to policy and practice. Students will be introduced to the following concepts with examples from a range of mental health disorders:

• Types and methods of economic evaluation
• Identification, measurement and valuation of costs
• Measurement and valuation of outcomes
• Decision modelling for health economic evaluation

The course provides an introduction to the principal methods employed in economic evaluation of mental health interventions, and examines the practical implementation of these methods in a range of settings. The topics explored will include: 
 

  • Theoretical underpinnings of economic evaluation
  • Strengths and limitations of methods of economic evaluation
  • Methods of identifying, measuring and valuing costs
  • Economic requirements for the measurement of outcomes
  • Combining costs and outcomes to inform resource allocation decisions
  • The complexities of applying economic techniques to mental health care
  • The design of economic evaluation for application in the mental health field

The course is suitable for participants from a variety of disciplines and settings and requires no prior knowledge of economics. The course is designed and taught by senior faculty members with internationally recognised expertise in the field of health economics.

This course will be of use to:
