Assignment Two

Task description Essay (choice of two essay topics)

In the normal market, buyers and sellers reveal their preferences directly through their actions; goods or commodities are traded, and price and quantity signals are observed within a supply and demand curve. In health care the conditions required for perfect markets to operate are rarely met (market failure), and as a consequence health care is often provided publicly. This ensures governmental intervention in health care and the ongoing need for health economic evaluation techniques to assist in allocative decisions. There are two main techniques: CEA (Cost-Effectiveness Analysis, which includes CUA [Cost-Utility Analysis]) and CBA (Cost-Benefit Analysis). Choose from one of the below essay questions relating to applied economic evaluation in health care.

ESSAY TOPIC 1: Cost-utility analyses (CUAs) are increasingly common in Australia and around the world. How does CUA value health related benefits? Describe briefly the measures below and explain how might an assessment of the burden of disease in a population differ between these health measures. Illustrate each answer using lung cancer, mental illness (depressive disorders) and ischaemic heart disease as the disease burden in each account (ie: for each of the disease states discuss the outcomes in terms of DALY, QALY, and PYLL).

i. Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALY)

ii. Quality-Adjusted Life Years (QALY)

iii. Potential Years of Life Lost (PYLL) or Years of Potential Life Lost (YPLL)

OR

ESSAY TOPIC 2: Describe Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA). How does CBA value health-related benefits? There is growing interest in stated preference methods to elicit a willingness to pay in the health care sector. Describe briefly the methods below and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of

i. the contingent valuation (CV) method, and

ii. discrete choice experiments (DCE) (or stated preference discrete choice experiments [SPDCE]).

Answer by considering how each can be used to value a good or service that is publicly provided and contributes to human wellbeing.

Relationship between Healthy Diet and Academic Performance

Throughout the semester we have been working on a literature review in my health research methods course. I sustained a concussion therefore it is difficult for me to finish this. I have already collected all the sources/references that are needed, I also have an outline that i can share with you that you could change as you go along as well. If you add anymore references if you could add them to the reference page that would be much appreciated. My topic is on how diet affects academic performance. The outline is not necessary to follow, it was just submitted that way. You can change it to adapt to the papers topics. I will attach the rubric and the outline and list of references, if you need anything else just let me know that you very much. This is due on March 24th at midnight. Thank you very much, I would do it myself but my concussion symptoms are too bad to be sitting on the computer like this. The file entitled outline checkpoint #2 has all the references in it.
