This online course will arm you with tools to measure health inequality. It will encourage and facilitate evaluation of the normative foundations of inequality measures. You will become familiar with methods used to explain socioeconomic disparities in health and to identify inequity in the distribution of healthcare. We will demonstrate how tools of health inequality measurement can be used to conduct distributionally sensitive cost-effectiveness analysis.
Learning Objectives
- Competence in measurement of health inequality with rank-dependent indices
- Conceptual understanding of normative foundations of that measurement
- Ability to compute and interpret these measures
- Apply health inequality measurement to distributional cost-effectiveness analysis
- Understanding of financing protection measurement
