Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Rising healthcare costs go hand in hand with an increasing need for economic evaluations—for instance, cost-effectiveness analyses in the field of public health. However, adopting a broad societal perspective to cover all relevant costs from multiple sectors affected by the spillover effects of healthcare interventions remains a methodological and practical challenge to this day despite its growing popularity and application. This Special Issue calls for studies advancing the methodological foundation of economic evaluations conducted from a societal viewpoint. This includes theoretical contributions as well as applied examples of rigorously conducted cost-effectiveness analyses covering consequences beyond costs in the health and social care sectors. For this Special Issue, papers including systematic literature reviews addressing these topics are invited, especially those combining novel methods contributing to capturing the consequences of healthcare interventions in a wide variety of sectors. This collection of articles will contribute to the health economic literature by broadening the evidence base from economic evaluations to make optimal societal decisions and by providing insights into the practical aspects of conducting economic evaluations from a societal perspective.
