We welcomed Professor Reed Johnson of the Duke University School of Medicine to HERU for a short visit on 9th and 10th November. Professor Johnson has more than 40 years academic and research experience and is currently Senior Research Scholar in the Duke Clinical Research Institute. He helped pioneer the development of non-market valuation techniques that are now widely used for cost-benefit analysis in health and environmental economics. While at HERU, Professor Reed delivered a seminar to staff and students from the Institute of Applied Health Sciences (IAHS) at the University. The seminar looked at ‘Putting the health back into health economics’ and presented data from a study that aimed to derive generalized healthy-time equivalents from conventional utility assumptions and compare comparative-effectiveness results to QALY weighting in a Markov model.
