Moving towards social inclusion
BACKGROUND: Achieving universal health coverage (UHC) in the context of limited resources will require prioritising the most vulnerable and ensuring health policies and services are responsive to their needs. One way of addressing this is through the engagement of marginalised voices in the priority setting process. Public engagement approaches that enable group level deliberation as well as individual level preference capturing might be valuable…
Building a “We” With Deliberative Dialogue in Pursuit of Health for All
Deliberative engagement methods on health care priority-setting in a rural South African community
Public engagement in priority-setting for health is increasingly recognized as a means to ensure more ethical, inclusive and legitimate decision-making processes, especially in the context of Universal Health Coverage where demands outweigh the available resources and difficult decisions need to be made. Deliberative approaches are often viewed as especially useful in considering social values and balancing trade-offs, however, implementation of …
Rethinking the Leading Health Indicators for Healthy People 2030
Beginning in 1979, the Healthy People initiative, led by the US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), has set health promotion and disease prevention objectives and targets every decade in an effort to engage a broad constituency in achieving health gains for the nation. A subset of objectives-the Leading Health Indicators (LHIs)-are intended to sharply focus attention on the highest priorities. At the request of DHHS, the National Acad…

Lack of Cost-Effectiveness Analyses to Address Healthy People 2020 Priority Areas
Objectives. To examine the extent to which recently published cost-utility analyses (cost-effectiveness analyses using quality-adjusted life-years to measure health benefits) have covered the leading health concerns in the US Department of Health and Human Services Healthy People 2020 report. Methods. We examined data in the Tufts Medical Center Cost-Effectiveness Analysis Registry, a database containing 5000 published cost-utility analyses publi…
Effectiveness of public deliberation methods for gathering input on issues in healthcare
Chicago, IL; Sacramento, CA; Silver Spring, MD; and Durham, NC, capturing a sociodemographically diverse sample with specific attention to ensuring inclusion of Hispanic, African-American, and elderly participants. Of 1774 people recruited, 75% participated: 961 took part in a deliberative method and 377 participants comprised the RMO control group. To assess effectiveness of the deliberative methods overall and of individual methods, we evaluate…
Catapulting the Chasm
The nation once again is on the precipice of financial catastrophe, but have we overlooked public health? Juxtaposed against one another, the comparison of health care with public health—one largely overutilized, expensive, and underperforming, the other responsible for eradicating diseases and providing safe food and water—cries out for thoughtful fiscal recalibration. We have examined the recent Institute of Medicine report on public health fin…
Relationship Among Sociodemographic Factors, Clinical Conditions, and Health-related Quality of Life
The income-associated burden of disease in the United States
Construct Validity of the EQ-5D in Low-Income Chinese American Primary Care Patients
Areas of decrement in health-related quality of life (HRQL)
Aligning Quality for Populations and Patients
Both the medical care and public health systems have invested considerable resources to define, measure, and improve quality and health outcomes. A movement toward accountability has generated performance indicators from the medical arena and “leading health indicators” from the public health arena. The focus on specific conditions by the medical care system has been at odds with public health’s emphasis on improving population health and has per…
Use of the SF-36 in Low-Income Chinese American Primary Care Patients
BACKGROUND: Measures of health status have been increasingly utilized but most research in the United States has been conducted on middle-class, English-speaking white persons. Although Asians reportedly often have a better health status than white persons, previously surveyed samples may not be representative of low-income non-English-speaking Asian immigrant populations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This cross-sectional study surveyed a convenience s…
Mapping the SF-12 to Preference-Based Instruments
BACKGROUND: The profile-based SF-12 has a low respondent burden and is used widely in clinical settings to monitor health and evaluate programs. Deriving preference scores for the SF-12 health profile would permit its use in cost-effectiveness analyses. Previous mapping studies of SF family instruments to preference-based instruments have not examined convergent validity or performance in low-income, minority populations. OBJECTIVES: To map the S…
Sociodemographics, self-rated health, and mortality in the US
Halys and Qalys and Dalys, Oh My
Health-adjusted life years (HALYs) are population health measures permitting morbidity and mortality to be simultaneously described within a single number. They are useful for overall estimates of burden of disease, comparisons of the relative impact of specific illnesses and conditions on communities, and in economic analyses. Quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) are types of HALYs whose original purpose…
Measure-Dependent Variation in Burden of Disease Estimates
BACKGROUND: Health adjusted life years (HALYs) are used for estimating burden of disease and as outcomes in cost-effectiveness analyses of medical care and public health interventions. OBJECTIVES: The impact of use of health-related quality of life (HRQL) scores associated with the disability-adjusted life year (DALY), the quality-adjusted life year (QALY), and the years of healthy life (YHL) measure on burden of disease estimates by income and r…
Inequality in Quality
Socioeconomic and racial/ethnic disparities in health care quality have been extensively documented. Recently, the elimination of disparities in health care has become the focus of a national initiative. Yet, there is little effort to monitor and address disparities in health care through organizational quality improvement. After reviewing literature on disparities in health care, we discuss the limitations in existing quality assessment for iden…
Improving Value Measurement in Cost-Effectiveness Analysis
OBJECTIVE: Before cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) can fulfill its promise as a tool to guide health care allocation decisions, the method of incorporating societal values into CEA may need to be improved. DESIGN: The study design was a declarative exposition of potential fallacies in the theoretical underpinnings of CEA. Two values held by many people-preferences for giving priority to severely ill patients and preferences to avoid discriminati…
Toward a Broader View of Values in Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Health

Toward Consistency in Cost-Utility Analyses
OBJECTIVES: The authors developed an "off-the-shelf" source of health-related quality of life (HRQL) scores for cost-effectiveness analysts unable to collect primary data. METHODS: The authors derived and conducted preliminary validation on a set of health-related quality of life scores for chronic conditions using nationally representative data from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) and the Healthy People 2000 Years of Healthy Life mea…
Cost-Effectiveness in Health and Medicine
This is a unique, in-depth discussion of the uses and conduct of cost-effectiveness analyses (CEA) as decision-making aids in the health and medical fields. The product of over two years of deiberation by a multi-disciplinary Public Health Service appointed panel that included economists, ethicists, psychometricians, and clinicians, it explores cost-effectiveness in the context of societal decision-making for resource allocation purposes. It prop…
Assessing the Health of the Nation
Health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL) measures are becoming increasingly important for evaluating the effectiveness of medical interventions and assessing the health of populations. Preference-based instruments, a subset of HRQOL measures, allow comparisons of overall health status in populations and in clinical settings, and are suitable for economic analyses; but validity studies have used selected samples, mostly examining morbidity. This stu…
Health insurance and subjective health status
OBJECTIVES. The relationship between health insurance and subjective health status was investigated. It was hypothesized that persons without health insurance would have lower levels of subjective health status than those with health insurance and that this relationship would hold for both poor and nonpoor persons. METHODS. Data from the 1987 National Medical Expenditure Survey were analyzed to examine the relationship between health insurance an…

Farming
We report findings from the first stage of a community‐oriented primary care approach initiated in a financially depressed agricultural area of upstate New York that sought to characterize the causes of relatively increased cardiovascular and cerebrovascular mortality in the region. This report focuses on 633 people aged 16 years and older employed in two adjacent towns. They were surveyed for standard sociodemographic data, information about uti…
