Emerging Leaders Network: Health economics for prevention

Health economics is a sub-discipline of economics. Health economic evaluations assess the costs and consequences of policies, programs and interventions and aim to inform decision makers how to allocate limited resources efficiently. Health economics informs the equity impact of health policies and can be used to build the economic case for investment in prevention.

The findings of this knowledge synthesis may be useful for:

• Policy makers and practitioners wanting to understand the most appropriate type of health economic evidence to inform decision making and advocate for investment in prevention
• Researchers interested in health economic methods for prevention.
