Cost-effectiveness of a technology-assisted peer-delivered perinatal mental health intervention in Pakistan
INTRODUCTION: Perinatal depression in low- and middle-income countries is a global health concern. Interventions to support women suffering from perinatal depression using mental health specialists, such as the WHO Thinking Healthy Programme (WHO-THP), are established but may not be scalable in resource-constrained settings. The technology-assisted peer-delivered THP (THP-TAP) has been developed as a potential solution to deliver an intervention …

Socioeconomic inequalities in disease prevalence by age and sex for 17 common long-term conditions in England
BACKGROUND: Evidence on socioeconomic inequalities in the prevalence of common long-term conditions and their variation across the life course is necessary for equitable service design and resource allocation. We used routinely collected electronic primary care records and a unified data extraction and analysis framework to estimate socioeconomic variations in the prevalence of 17 common long-term conditions by age and sex. METHODS: Electronic re…
The Cost-Effectiveness of the SMART Work & Life Intervention for Reducing Sitting Time
Sedentary behaviours continue to increase and are associated with heightened risks of morbidity and mortality. We assessed the cost-effectiveness of SMART Work & Life (SWAL), an intervention designed to reduce sitting time inside and outside of work, both with (SWAL-desk) and without (SWAL-only) a height-adjustable workstation compared to usual practice (control) for UK office workers. Health outcomes were assessed in quality-adjusted life-years …
Responding to Health-Improving but Cost-Ineffective Care
Wasteful health care spending can take different forms, including spending on services that increase costs while providing no health benefits or harming health (no-value care), or spending on services that improve health but are deemed cost-ineffective according to willingness-to-pay for health (low-value care). The policy objective for no-value care is simple: reduce the quantity of such health services delivered. Low-value care, while improving…
Methods to promote equity in health resource allocation in low- and middle-income countries
Unfair differences in healthcare access, utilisation, quality or health outcomes exist between and within countries around the world. Improving health equity is a stated objective for many governments and international organizations. We provide an overview of the major tools that have been developed to measure, evaluate and promote health equity, along with the data required to operationalise them. Methods are organised into four key policy quest…
