Development of a Value of Life Framework to Assist Priority Setting Decision Making Across Sectors

用于评估救生干预措施的技术在卫生部门和其他部门有所不同。在健康领域，成本效益或成本效用分析是很常见的，避免具体说明生命价值。相比之下，运输和环境部门使用成本效益分析和货币价值评估。这种方法的二元性导致卫生部门的隐含生命价值较低。这项研究将探索这些差异，并试图确定影响生命价值的关键属性，为单一的生命价值评估方法提供框架，并更有效地跨部门分配资源。

The techniques used to evaluate life-saving interventions differ between health and other sectors. In health cost-effectiveness or cost-utility anlaysis is common, avoiding specification of a value for life. In contrast the transport and environment sectors use cost-benefit analysis and value life in monetary terms. This duality of approaches has resulted in a lower implicit value of life in the health sector. The research will explore these differences and attempt to identify key attributes that influence how life is valued, to provide a framework for a single approach to the valuation of life, and the more efficient allocation of resources cross-sectorally.
