HEAL Prevention Initiative webinar: From Programs to Policy: The Role of Economic Evaluation in Prevention
The National Institutes of Health’s HEAL Prevention Initiative (HPI) will host a webinar on September 30 for researchers and practitioners who want to incorporate economic evaluation into health prevention program research.
“From Programs to Policy: The Role of Economic Evaluation in Prevention,” coordinated by the HEAL Prevention Coordinating Center, will introduce economic evaluation and its complementary role to primary effectiveness analyses in the HEAL Prevention Cooperative (HPC).
