Economic Evaluation as a Component of Quality Effectiveness Research: Methodological and Practical Benefits

Abstract

Background  

As research moves from questions of efficacy (can an intervention work) to questions of effectiveness (does an intervention
work in practice), questions of efficiency (what are the costs and consequences of the intervention) become increasingly important.
The incorporation of economic evaluation into the planning and execution of effectiveness research brings with it several
practical and methodological benefits.

Objective  

The goals of this article are to provide an overview of economic evaluation and its current use in the field of social welfare
(social work, social services, etc.) as well as highlight and discuss benefits of economic evaluation.

Methods  

This commentary describes and reviews relevant empirical and theoretical literature on this subject.

Results  

This commentary suggests that there are several implications of the points made in the article for the development of standards
of quality for effectiveness research.
