From Programs to Policy: The Role of Economic Evaluation in Prevention

During this 60-minute webinar, attendees will be introduced to economic evaluation and its complementary role to primary effectiveness analyses in the HEAL Prevention Cooperative, a project of the Helping to End Addiction Long-term® Initiative, or NIH HEAL Initiative®. Individual presentations from study economists will cover economic evaluation approaches being used by the cooperative, including costing analyses, cost-effectiveness analyses, and budget impact analyses. Panelists will discuss the real-world value of economic evaluation, exploring how economic evaluation results can be used to support decision-making by program providers and policy makers.
