ISPOR Award for Excellence in Methodology in Pharmacoeconomics and Health Outcomes Research
Recipient
Joshua A Salomon, PhD
Assistant Professor of International Health
Harvard School of Public Health.
His research focuses on measurement of population health status and health
valuations in community surveys; modeling and forecasting of health
outcomes and disease burden; and evaluation of the potential impact and
cost-effectiveness of health interventions. A major emphasis has been on
development of new approaches to data collection and analysis of health
measurements, with a particular focus on developing country settings and
aging populations. Another major research area revolves around development
of analytic tools for priority-setting in global health. The goal of this
work is to combine techniques of simulation modeling with decision
analysis to inform policies regarding the use of existing health
interventions and priorities for development of new technologies. Salomon
earned a BA from Harvard College and a PhD in Health Policy and Decision
Sciences from Harvard University.
