As a PhD student, this book is a required text book. I found it provides a concise and sysmatic guide to economic evaluation. The material is rich and surprisingly not dry. The book provides examples, graphs, and exercises with answers right after the problems!! Eventhough most examples in the book are from a universal health care(single payer system) perspective, I believe researchers in the US can still use it as a guide with a little adjustment.

It's a very useful and well written book for a reasonable price and I have been looking for it for sometime. It has all the economic evaluation methods for health care programmes including clear examples. I would recommend it for any Health Economist and for Public Health Programme Managers.

Good introduction for economic evaluation of health care. Before studying further modeling parameters, you need to start from this book

Drummond, et al., offer an excellent overview of various methods to evaluate care. I picked up this book while visiting Australia and read most of it on my return flight.

Interesting book, but very specific. This book is more adequate for economic's people than the others. Lack of images. Text very crowded.

Dear all,

Up till now I did not receive this book, can you trace it somewhere?

kind regards,

This book is excellent for health economists to initiate modern research design that use intermediate measurement to infer to longitudinal outcome. Anyway, it does not neglect the traditional methodology of health economics. Because of complicated methodology that is difficult to understand, there are not so enough the varied example to assist.
