WHAT THE COURSE IS ABOUT

This short online course will cover theoretical concepts on inequity and inequality in health as well as its measurement. It will also provide an overview of selected available (longitudinal) household survey data and cohort studies that combine socio-economic and demographic variables along with various health measures – these datasets provide good sources for empirical inequality in health research. Overall, the course will combine theory and applied methods using case studies, real-word evidence, and data analysis using Stata. 

This course is designed for investigators, managers, researchers and others working in the clinical trials. It will give participants a first clear understanding of the fundamental concepts and principles of economic appraisal with a focus on the methods and the practical uses of cost-effectiveness and cost-benefit analysis of alternative health care and public health interventions. No previous knowledge or background in economics is required.
