Economic appraisal of pre-natal screening faces challenges in accurately valuing benefits. Current methods inadequately reflect women's preferences, hindering policy adoption.

Area of Science:

  • Health Economics
  • Reproductive Health

Background:

  • Economic appraisal is increasingly applied to healthcare interventions.
  • Pre-natal screening programs offer significant health benefits but require economic evaluation.
  • Existing economic models may not fully capture the value of these services.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically examine the application of economic appraisal in pre-natal screening.
  • To analyze how economists measure and value the benefits of pre-natal screening.
  • To identify limitations in current economic valuation methods for pre-natal screening.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of economic appraisal studies on pre-natal screening.
  • Analysis of economic theory related to utility functions and decision-making.
Keywords:

  • Critique of existing methodologies for valuing health benefits.

    • Main Results:

    • Current economic appraisal methods for pre-natal screening have limitations.
    • Valuation of benefits is challenged by the complexity of women's utility functions.
    • Existing approaches may not adequately incorporate women's preferences and desired outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Policy makers need improved economic evidence that reflects women's perspectives.
    • Economists must refine methods to better measure the benefits women seek from pre-natal screening.
    • More inclusive economic evaluation is crucial for effective pre-natal screening policy.
