We provide an introduction to decision analytic cost-effectiveness modelling, giving the theoretical and practical knowledge required to design and implement analyses that meet the methodological standards of health technology assessment organisations. The programme guides you through building a decision tree and a Markov model and, importantly, shows how the results of cost-effectiveness analyses are interpreted. Explanations of theory and methods are presented in bite-sized pieces that you can work through at your own pace.
