Cost-Effectiveness Analysis in Health: A Practical Approach

A comprehensive guide by Peter Muennig, this third edition is an updated reference book designed to provide a practical introduction to cost-effectiveness analysis. The book covers all aspects of conducting such analyses, from identifying necessary data and sources to conducting rigorous analyses and preparing reports for publication.

Accessible to readers without a background in biostatistics or epidemiology, each chapter includes real-world examples and “tips and tricks” to aid understanding. Exercises are provided throughout the book to facilitate learning through practical application. The companion website offers downloadable data sets for students and lecture slides and a test bank for instructors.

The third edition introduces new discussions on meta-analysis and advanced modeling techniques, including a long worked example using visual modeling software TreeAge Pro. It also includes updated recommendations from the U.S. Public Health Service’s Panel on Cost-Effectiveness in Health and Medicine. This second printing has been corrected and revised to reflect the latest standards and methods as of 2018.

With its practical approach and thorough coverage, this book is ideal for students, researchers, and professionals interested in understanding and applying cost-effectiveness analysis in health settings.
