Webinar: Quantifying Equity Impacts

This introductory talk focuses on distributional cost-effectiveness analysis (DCEA) methods for analysing the health inequality impacts of health programmes and trade-offs with cost-effectiveness. It will be as interactive as possible so please come prepared to ask questions! 
You may also want to have a look at the DCEA resource page and do some initial thinking beforehand about whether, why and how you might want to apply these methods in your own specific area of work.
