CHDS Seminar with Maddalena Ferranna
The Welfare Burden of Type 1 Diabetes
About the Seminar
Common methods to estimate the full health and economic burden of diseases include the cost-of-illness approach and the value-per-statistical-life approach. Both methodologies have well-known drawbacks, including the dependence on income and the treatment of inequities. This presentation discusses an alternative methodology for estimating the full burden of diseases: social welfare function analysis. An application to the full global burden of type 1 diabetes is provided.
