Brief description Historically, economic evaluations of health care treatment and preventive programs developed for adolescents have failed to incorporate adolescent values about their preferred health outcomes. This project will apply a novel approach known as Best-Worst Scaling to ascertain adolescent specific values for health states for incorporation into economic evaluation, thereby enabling the views of adolescents to be incorporated directly into the health care priorities decision-making process.
