Commentary on Hassenzahl's ‘The effect of uncertainty on “risk rationalizing” decisions’
Federal policy mandating safer cigarettes
If manufacturing a safer cigarette is technically possible--an open question--then mandating that tobacco manufacturers improve the safety of cigarettes would likely have both positive and negative implications for the nation's health. On the one hand, removing toxins may reduce the incidence of smoking-related diseases and premature mortality in smokers. On the other hand, smokers might be less inclined to quit, those who have quit might resume …
Public Health Impact of Changes in Smoking Behavior
OBJECTIVES: The relative magnitude of the public health gains from preventing smoking initiation versus encouraging cessation or avoiding relapse in different ages and genders is estimated and compared. METHODS: Health gains are defined as the predicted increase in Quality-Adjusted Life-Years (QALYs) to the US population during a century. To estimate QALYs, we developed the Tobacco Policy Model. The model simulates a 10% reduction in the annual p…
One Thousand Health-Related Quality-of-Life Estimates
OBJECTIVE: Analysts performing cost-effectiveness analyses often do not have the resources to gather original quality-of-life (QOL) weights. Furthermore, variability in QOL for the same health state hampers the comparability of cost-effectiveness analyses. For these reasons, opinion leaders such as the Panel on Cost-Effectiveness in Health and Medicine have called for a national repository of QOL weights. Some authors have responded to the call b…
Five‐Hundred Life‐Saving Interventions and Their Cost‐Effectiveness
We gathered information on the cost‐effectiveness of life‐saving interventions in the United States from publicly available economic analyses. “Life‐saving interventions” were defined as any behavioral and/or technological strategy that reduces the probability of premature death among a specified target population. We defined cost‐effectiveness as the net resource costs of an intervention per year of life saved. To improve the comparability of co…
