PUB HLTH 7085 - Applied Health Economic Evaluation Research Project

North Terrace Campus - Semester 2 - 2014

Applied Health Economic Evaluation Research Project is designed to provide students with the opportunity to apply the components of health economic evaluation in detail, in the context of an applied evaluation that is completed in full, from specification of the research question to the drafting of a journal manuscript. The course builds on the Health Economic Evaluation and Decision Making (PubHlth 7082), which provides the background and theory to each of the components of a health economic evaluation. Students are provided with relevant materials and instruction relating to the review of background material, the specification of an appropriate model structure, estimation of disease progression and treatment effect parameter values, conduct of a quality of life study, analysis of resource use and cost data, consideration of outcomes other than quality adjusted life years, and the analysis and representation of uncertainty of the finished model. On course completion, students will have practical experience in the conduct of health economic evaluation which will cement the knowledge gained in the existing HEEDM course and provide the basis for conducting independent evaluations in a wide range of employment settings (e.g. government, NGO, industry, academia).

Student Feedback

The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student’s disciplinary procedures.

The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
