Such efforts encompass a wide array of activities in many different contexts: improving air and water quality; safeguarding the food supply; reducing the risk of injury on the job, in transportation, and from consumer products; and minimizing exposure to toxic chemicals. Estimating the magnitude of the expected health and longevity benefits and reductions in mortality, morbidity, and injury risks helps policy makers decide whether particular interventions merit the expected costs associated with achieving these benefits and inform their choices among alternative strategies. Valuing Health for Regulatory Cost-Effectiveness Analysis provides useful recommendations for how to measure health-related quality of- life impacts for diverse public health, safety, and environmental regulations. Public decision makers, regulatory analysts, scholars, and students in the field will find this an essential review text. It will become a standard reference for all government agencies and those consultants and contractors who support the work of regulatory programs.Medical careCost effectivenessResearchMethodologyCost effectivenessCost-Benefit Analysismethods(DNLM)D003362Q000379Health Policyeconomics(DNLM)D006291Q000191Cost-Benefit Analysis(DNLM)D003362United States Government Agencies(DNLM)D037041United StatesMedical careCost effectivenessResearchMethodology.Cost effectiveness.Cost-Benefit Analysismethods.Health Policyeconomics.Cost-Benefit Analysis.United States Government Agencies.362.1068/1Miller Wilhelmine1809204Robinson Lisa A1809205Lawrence Robert S.1938-1806200Institute of Medicine (U.S.).Committee to Evaluate Measures of Health Benefits for Environmental, Health, and Safety Regulation.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910968976403321Valuing health for regulatory cost-effectiveness analysis4359869UNINA
