Evaluating population-level medicine policy interventions: generating high-quality evidence about intended and unintended consequences

尽管有好处，但药物经常被过度使用、未充分使用和误用。作为回应，各国政府通常使用政策干预措施来促进安全和具有成本效益的药物使用。然而，在澳大利亚，这种干预措施很少得到及时彻底的评估。该项目将使用相关的人口健康数据，生成关于澳大利亚一系列医药政策预期和意外后果的高质量证据。

Despite their benefits, medicines are often overused, underused and misused. In response, policy interventions are commonly used by governments to promote safe and cost-effective use of medicines. Yet, in Australia such interventions are rarely thoroughly evaluated in a timely manner. This project will generate high-quality evidence about the intended and unintended consequences of a range of medicine policies in Australia, using linked population health data.
