The field of cost-effectiveness analysis has lacked an entry-level textbook until now. Designing and Conducting Cost-Effectiveness Analyses in Medicine and Health Care is a hands-on guide for conducting economic analyses that closely follows the recommendations of the Panel on Cost-Effectiveness in Health and Medicine. Step by step, Dr. Muennig outlines the theory and practice of cost-effectiveness and shows how to develop an original research question, retrieve data, design a decision analysis tree, calculate quality-adjusted life years, and test for error in analysis. The book provides clear and detailed instruction and includes a review of the epidemiological and biostatistical skills students need to conduct cost-effectiveness analyses. While the book is designed for students, it includes advanced topics for policymakers, community health experts, and preventive medicine residents who are interested in the field. The book uses a worked example to walk the reader through the process of designing and conducting an analysis and provides links to all of the major Internet-accessible sources of government data. This book will be a welcome addition to the library of students and seasoned researchers alike.

"Dr. Muennig has written a highly accessible guide to cost-effectiveness analysis that bridges the latest theoretical developments with pragmatic instruction, informative examples, and even tips for online data sources. Students and professionals alike will benefit from the step-by-step clarity with which Dr. Muennig presents and dissects the complex methods that underlie this increasingly important tool for rational decision making in medicine and health policy."

5.0 out of 5 stars
good guided tour of cost-effectiveness analyses,
By Francesca (new york, ny) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Designing and Conducting Cost-Effectiveness Analyses in Medicine and Health Care (Jossey-Bass Health Care Series) (Hardcover)
This book was really well-written in that everything was laid out clearly and consistently. I could basically choose my level of involvement, since the author explicitly delineates what each chapter and each exercise is for. The book was especially helpful in helping me choose which statistical methods of analysis would best fit the data set and research question I was working on; no other books I looked up did this in a readable way. Also, what really impressed me is the fact that the book made all the exercises not only seem, but actually feel, easy (or at least logical), and it wasn't until the end that I realized that I had built a decent foundation in cost-effectiveness analysis. The lessons were cumulative, so that the process of doing the problem sets actually felt fulfilling.
