Description

This webinar will provide an educational opportunity for the ISPOR membership to learn about how distributional cost-effectiveness analysis (DCEA) can be applied in the US setting. DCEA allows researchers to provide quantitative information about the distribution of health and opportunity cost impacts from healthcare decisions. An increased focus on health equity in US health technology assessment and policy initiatives highlights the need to better understand equity effects. Recent advancements in establishing the foundational data needed for DCEA in the US are changing the feasibility of application and allowing for more routine use. This webinar will introduce the method, discuss the current state of foundational data in the US and highlight a recent case study to illustrate data sources that can be leveraged in more routine DCEA application. The proposed structure of the webinar is as follows:

  • Introduction (5 minutes)
  • Brief overview of DCEA methodology, including when to consider a DCEA study (5 minutes)
  • Summary of current state of foundational data to support DCEA in the US setting, including summary of next steps for future research (15 minutes)
  • Case study of US DCEA focused on Alzheimer’s disease (15 minutes)
  • Audience Q&A: an interactive moderated discussion forum for attendees to share their experience of using DCEA and ask questions (15 minutes)
  • Wrap-up and polling questions (5 minutes)


Learning Objectives

  • To enhance awareness of DCEA as a method for quantifying the equity impacts of health decisions.
  • To introduce the foundational data available in the states to conduct DCEA.
  • To highlight how to gather data for a DCEA and develop a DCEA in the US setting through a case study in Alzheimer’s disease.
