Webinar: Applying Economic Evaluation to Prevention Research
Date
The National Institutes of Health’s HEAL Prevention Initiative (HPI) will host a webinar for researchers and practitioners who want to incorporate economic evaluation into health prevention program research. Registration is free.
“From Programs to Policy: The Role of Economic Evaluation in Prevention,” coordinated by the HEAL Prevention Coordinating Center, will introduce economic evaluation and its complementary role to primary effectiveness analyses in the HEAL Prevention Cooperative (HPC). Presenters will highlight economic evaluation approaches used by research projects within the HPC and instruct attendees on how to apply these approaches to their own research projects and programs. Public health scientists and practitioners with no prior experience with economic evaluation may benefit from attending the webinar.
Presenters will draw from their experiences conducting economic evaluation for select research projects as part of the HEAL Prevention Cooperative, a collaborative of 10 research projects and a coordinating center based at RTI, testing opioid misuse prevention and intervention strategies.
