The State of Cost-Effectiveness Guidance: Ten Best Resources for CEA in Impact Evaluations

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: Despite policymaker demand, cost evidence is infrequently included in impact evaluations (IEs) in LMICs. This article provides a curated list of resources for researchers and practitioners who would like to incorporate cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) into an IE. We identified 1402 resources through systematic searching of peer-reviewed and grey literature, crowd-sourcing and depersonalised Google keyword searches. Resources were screened over two rounds based on their relevance to guide or inform researchers seeking to incorporate CEA into an IE. The ‘10 best’ were selected based on their usefulness; user-friendliness ; generalisability across contexts; free availability online; and to balance resources across multiple stages of CEA implementation.
