MCDA from a health economics perspective: Opportunities and pitfalls of extending economic evaluation to incorporate broader outcomes

Research output: Contribution to journalReview articlepeer-review

Abstract

Background: Multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) is a structured decision-making process that offers greater flexibility to incorporate multiple objectives than cost-effectiveness analysis or benefit-cost analysis. Conclusions: The flexibility of MCDA requires careful consideration of its methodological underpinnings, analytical forms and cognitive biases that may arise in eliciting trade-off. The methodology of MCDA should ideally incorporate both deliberative and technical processes.
