Guest guest Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Dear members Cost of illness studies- advantages and disadvantages: Disadvantages: Assume ‘value’ of life is based on production or earnings- often no differentiation between death and chronic disability in this setting. Utility is ignored. Can distort priorities towards high earners and away from the more disadvantaged. Methodological problems about human capital approach. Can result in incorrect decisions because they look only at costs and not at costs and benefits. Risks of bias if methods or data poor or results not fully reported.
