NPEU Researcher to give seminar at the Office of Health Economics in London

On 29th March 2018, Senior Health Economist Oliver Rivero-Arias will be presenting an OHE Lunchtime Seminar: Valuing Children’s Health for Economic Evaluation.
Economic evaluations of treatments for children have primarily used adult preferences when estimating health benefits. Recent work has demonstrated that using adult values to inform preferences for health states experienced by children or adolescents is not appropriate, and this has raised doubts about the validity of such economic evaluations. Eliciting preferences to be used to inform decisions about health care for younger populations is challenging and presents the questions of whose values should be collected and from which perspective.
In this presentation, Oliver will report the results of two valuation exercises for a child-specific health-related quality of life instrument, comparing preferences elicited from adolescents and adults in the UK and Spain.
If you are attending the seminar, please say hello.
