Advancing Health Outcomes Research Methods and Clinical Applications
A Publication of the International Society for Quality of Life Research
Edited by William R. Lenderking and Dennis A. Revicki

Table of Contents

This book is based on invited presentations during the 2004 ISOQOL Symposium, “Stating the Art: Advancing Outcomes Research Methodology and Clinical Applications” held in Boston, MA, USA. This book includes a collection of chapters which cover a wide range of conceptual and theoretical, methodological, measurement, and statistical topics, and focuses on innovative and sometimes unfamiliar areas of research that might contribute to advancing health outcomes assessment. It is hoped that health outcomes researchers, students, clinical researchers, those involved in drug development, and others interested in patient-reported outcomes and health-related quality-of-life outcomes will find much that is intriguing and stimulating within the book.

Measuring and Valuing Health Benefits for Economic Evaluation
John Brazier, Julie Ratcliffe, Joshua A. Salomon, and Aki Tsuchiya

This is the first comprehensive textbook concerning the measurement and valuation of health benefits for economic evaluation.

The book addresses the key questions in the measurement and valuation of health, including: the definition of health, the techniques of valuation, who should provide the values, techniques for modelling health state values, the appropriateness of tools in children and vulnerable groups, cross cultural issues, and the problem of choosing the right instrument. The book concludes with a discussion of the way forward in light of the substantial methodological differences, the role of normative judgements, and where further research is most likely to take this fascinating component of health economics.
