Health Technology Assessment for Vaccines Against Rare, Severe Infections: Properly Accounting for Serogroup B Meningococcal Vaccination's Full Social and Economic Benefits
The high price of new generations of vaccines relative to their predecessors has become an important consideration in debates over whether the benefits of the new vaccines justify their costs. An increasingly central line of inquiry in the literature on valuing vaccination surrounds accounting for the full social and economic benefits of vaccination. This paper applies this emerging perspective to the particular case of vaccination against serogr…
The economic burden of noncommunicable diseases and mental health conditions: Results for Costa Rica, Jamaica, and Peru
These results indicate that the economic impact of NCDs and mental health conditions is substantial and that interventions to reduce the prevalence of chronic conditions in countries of Latin America and the Caribbean are likely to be highly cost-beneficial
The Transformation of Mental Health Services To a Recovery-Orientated System of Care: Canadian Decision Maker Perspectives
Background: Recovery is emerging as a worldwide paradigm in mental health. There is increasing recognition that the transformation of mental health systems to a recovery perspective requires collaboration among all stakeholders. Research to date has focused on the perspectives of service users and providers. The role and influence of organizational decision makers in the transformation process has been less studied. Materials: This study reports …
Les préférences résidentielles des personnes souffrant de troubles mentaux graves: Une étude descriptive
Cet article présente les résultats d’une étude exploratoire portant sur les préférences résidentielles de 315 personnes souffrant de troubles mentaux graves hébergées dans sept types d’hébergement à Montréal.

The Demographic Dividend: A New Perspective on the Economic Consequences of Population Change
There is long-standing debate on how population growth affects national economies. A new report from Population Matters examines the history of this debate and synthesizes current research on the topic. The authors, led by Harvard economist David Bloom, conclude that population age structure, more than size or growth per se, affects economic development, and that reducing high fertility can create opportunities for economic growth if the right ki…
The Health and Poverty of Nations: From theory to practice
Health is both a direct component of human well-being and a form of human capital that increases an individual's capabilities. We argue that these two views are complementary and that both can be used to justify increased investment in health in developing countries. In particular, we argue that the large effect improved health has on household incomes and economic growth makes it an important tool for poverty reduction. We survey the literature …
The demographic crisis in the former Soviet Union: Introduction
Correcting contraceptive failure rates for sample composition and sample selection bias
In this paper we address two questions about life table estimates of the proportion of women experiencing a contraceptive failure within one year of initiation of use: Is the observed proportion affected by the socioeconomic or demographic composition of the sample? Is there evidence, even when socioeconomic or demographic influences are controlled, that the propensity to choose a particular method is correlated with the woman's underlying propen…
