Meyer (1995) lists nine threats to internal validity of natural experiments. Describe three.
The insured population requiring care from the
health services falls into one of two groups
(pathologies to treat): type A and type B patients.
Let's assume that there is only one patient per
group. So, there are patients of one type (A) with
a disease that reduces their health status in 5
QALYS, and there are patients of another type (B)
with an illness that reduces their health status in 3
QALYS. Several drugs are available to the
population. The more expensive they are, the
greater their efficacy and the greater the number
of QALYS gained. The price of a drug is related to
its effectiveness and the price of the drug rises by
one monetary unit for each additional QALY it
provides. Therefore, to be able to restore their
health, type A patients need a drug priced at 5
monetary units, and type B patients need a drug
priced at 3 monetary units. Both patients (A and
B) have the same income, 10 monetary units.
What sacrifice, in welfare units per QALY, must a
type B patient endure to be…

- The Chief Medical Officer has advised the government that consumption of widget-corn improves the survival rate of COVID-19 by 20%. Suppose the supply and demand functions for widget-corn are: QD = 100 – 5P QS = 5P. P is the price in dollar and Q is the quantity in kilograms. Having confirmed the positive impact of widget-corn consumption on COVID-19 patients, the government has ordered widget-corn sellers to charge $5 per kilogram. Calculate the impact of the policy on the quantity of widget-corn supplied and demanded. Explain the impact of the policy consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total economic surplus. Is the outcome of the government’s policy efficient and, therefore, maintained or abandoned? Explain in detail.arrow_forwardAssume that people receiving intervention A live 5 years at quality of life of 0.8 and people receiving intervention B live 10 years at quality of life of 0.4.

- The consequences of the public policymaking process are directly affected by the ethics of those who participate in it. The ethical principle of justice provides much of the foundation for all health policies, whether allocative or regulatory. Justice is often defined as fairness. Opinions vary on the issue of fair distribution of the benefits and burdens involved in the pursuit of health in American society. The three most prominent perspectives on justice are the egalitarian, libertarian, and utilitarian perspectives. Select one of these perspectives and provide an example of how it has been applied to health policy or how it has been proposed that it be applied to health policy.arrow_forwardIndicate whether each statement is true or false, and justify your answer.The cost-effectiveness frontier (CEF) shows the subset of treatment strategies which are not dominated by any other treatment.arrow_forwardIn some countries, such as Canada and UK, direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising for pharmaceutical products is illegal or tightly controlled.

- An article in JAMA by Mandelblatt et al (2002) compared the societal costs and benefits of human papillomavirus (HPV) testing, Pap testing, and their combination to screen for cervical cancer. The paper studied 18 different population screening strategies – Pap testing alone, HPV testing alone, and Pap plus HPV testing – every 2 or 3 years for women beginning at age 20 and continuing to 65 years, 75 years, and death. The following table summarizes some of the results (low cost to high cost). Costs include screening and treatment costs, discounted over the individual’s expected lifetime.
