Health spillovers have been a concern in economic evaluations for a while, equally for policy makers and researchers.

The Spillovers in Health Economic Evaluation and Research (SHEER) task force aims to provide guidance on the incorporation of family and caregiver health spillovers in #CostEffectiveness
and #CostUtility analysis:

The paper presents 11 consensus recommendations for emerging good practice and 12 avenues for future research.

Abstract
Background: Omission of family and caregiver health spillovers from the economic evaluation of healthcare interventions remains common practice. When reported, a high degree of methodological inconsistency in incorporating spillovers has been observed.

Aim: To promote emerging good practice, this paper from the Spillovers in Health Economic Evaluation and Research (SHEER) task force aims to provide guidance on the incorporation of family and caregiver health spillovers in cost-effectiveness and cost-utility analysis. SHEER also seeks to inform the basis for a spillover research agenda and future practice.

Methods: A modified nominal group technique was used to reach consensus on a set of recommendations, representative of the views of participating subject-matter experts. Through the structured discussions of the group, as well as on the basis of evidence identified during a review process, recommendations were proposed and voted upon, with voting being held over two rounds.

Despite exuberance about the potential of #tirzepatide, NICE says nope, they will not yet endorse its use in the NHS. "Promising, but more info needed on outcomes and #CostEffectiveness."

And another one: we're now fully booked! I think registration will remain open to start a waiting list, just in case...

Looking forward to it!

Those percentages seem in line with the blanket #NEI adder some states use in their #CostEffectiveness calcs. And this only includes public health impacts from emissions - there are lots more #NonEnergyImpacts (Full transparency - I used 2021 retail rates rather than 2023 because I think COBRA was last updated in 2020. The rates are much higher now.)
