The Comparative Health Outcomes, Policy, and Economics (CHOICE) Institute

Costs and buRdens of Illnesses from a Societal Perspective (CrISP)  Portfolio

The CHOICE faculty are some of the leading experts in the world in establishing the economic costs and burdens of illnesses. They have contributed to the theory of what and how to measure these outcomes and standardized guidelines to apply these methods. The CrISP umbrella highlights CHOICE faculty’s methodological and applied works, where they have estimated the costs and burdens for different illnesses from a societal perspective.
