Marcia Weaver holds a PhD in economics and an MA in Public Policy from the University of Chicago. She specializes in cost-effectiveness analysis and has published 92 peer-reviewed articles. At the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, she leads the cost-effectiveness research team. The team\u2019s two main initiatives are: 1) meta-regression analyses of published incremental cost-effectiveness ratios, and 2) spending effectiveness estimates of the ratio of changes in spending per case to changes in disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) per case by cause of disease and injury in the United States.<\/p>\n

Professor Weaver was Principal Investigator for the Integrated Infectious Disease Capacity Building Evaluation (IDCAP), which was awarded to Accordia Global Health Foundation by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. IDCAP was a cluster randomized trial implemented by the Infectious Diseases Institute in Uganda to estimate the cost-effectiveness of two methods for building capacity for the prevention and treatment of HIV, malaria, pneumonia, and tuberculosis. In the United States, she has published on cost-effectiveness of interventions for people with HIV and chronic mental illness and substance abuse as part of the HIV\/AIDS Treatment Adherence, Health Outcomes, and Cost Study, and on a joint campaign to promote influenza and pneumococcal vaccines.<\/p>\n

Professor Weaver also has extensive experience with evaluating the effects of clinical training programs in Botswana, Indonesia, Namibia, South Africa, Thailand, and the Caribbean region. She is proficient with a broad range of methods for measuring the quality of health care and outcomes, such as patient exit interviews, patient service utilization interviews, Medical Outcomes Study short form (SF)-36, observation of clinical practice, standardized patients, facility records and health management information system, clinical vignettes (sometimes referred to as case scenarios), and population-based surveys of mortality among children under 5 years.<\/p>\n

Prior to joining the UW faculty, Professor Weaver served as a long-term advisor on health system reform to ministries of health in Niger and Central African Republic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
