Health evaluation has become increasingly important in recent years as policy makers, health professionals and health researchers become more concerned with the rigorous assessment of healthcare policies, health interventions and health research. This important volume, edited by Barker Bausell, will be a must-read for anyone interested in the methodological fundamentals of how best to design, carry out and analyse health evaluation studies, and anyone interested in making healthcare policy and health research more effective.
This collection includes key publications on the topic of health evaluation, focusing primarily on four themes: evaluation theory and approaches to the process of evaluation, methods and design considerations, statistical issues and exemplary case studies. As part of the Fundamentals of Applied Research series, this four-volume major work offers an overview of seminal articles in the field of health evaluation that are designed to enable health professionals and their students to learn about, interpret and ultimately undertake evaluation studies in their own specialist fields.
