Summary

This international research project aims to advance health equity research, using a multidisciplinary approach from economics and public health. This research project plan comprises multiple phases: the first phase is the public preference elicitation study on health inequality aversion; the second phase is the disaggregated health status estimate in consideration of health and social gaps; and the third phase is the advanced, equity-informative health economic evaluations (e.g., Distributional Cost-Effectiveness Analysis-DCEA).
