The course will begin by discussing current uses of standard cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) and concerns raised by that model. The GRACE methodology will be discussed along with its mathematical foundations. This workshop will also discuss what is necessary to incorporate the GRACE methodology into standard CEA as well as some important ethical implications of GRACE. This intermediate level course requires participants to have a working knowledge of basic calculus.
