Reviews
"'This book is not a theoretical textbook, but an applied book designed to equip its readers with the practical tools to both understand and apply health economic methods. This book seeks to provide anyone faced with making choices, personal or interpersonal regarding the supply or receipt of health care, with the information to make informed decisions about that health care. It seeks to introduce the reader to the key economic tools and the data available that can assist an economic decision and how to use and interpret such data. Its aim is not to turn the decision maker into a health economist but provide the ability to ask the appropriate questions, understand the relevant data and literature and to access the resources available to them.' Marilyn James and Elizabeth Stokes, in the Introduction"
