摘要: Cost-effectiveness (CEA) analysis of health interventions focuses primarily on individual-level costs and benefits. However, intended for individuals often have implications other members an individual’s family the overall functioning family. While researchers assessed effects multiple members, CEA has not routinely incorporated measures effectiveness or from members. We could imagine, however, that might over- under-estimate if they are limited to targeted by intervention. Family-level would consider well-being borne in response intervention, potentially lead more appropriate resource allocation. Using plan as a working frame reference, we explore conceptual issues related estimating at level use CEA.
