Zusammenfassung:"This book aims to lay the foundations for a systematic methodology of economic evaluation of occupational health and safety interventions by identifying the main barriers to research of high quality and practical relevance, and proposing a research strategy to overcome them. Context chapters provide a wealth of background material ranging from a presentation of the broad conceptualization of work and health, to suggestions for strategies on how to confront the dearth of data often experienced by occupational health and safety researchers. The institutional and regulatory approaches in different international jurisdictions are covered in one of the context chapters. Specific topic chapters delve into the principles and application of economic evaluation methods relevant to workplace and system level interventions. Study design, type of analysis, costs, consequences, uncertainty, and equity are all covered, providing guidance on meeting many analytical and decision-making challenges. The final chapter synthesizes the summaries, conclusions, challenges, and recommendations from across the book, presenting the synthesis as a reference case." "This book is essential reading for researchers, practitioners, policy makers, and both educators and students involved in occupational health and safety, public health, health promotion, and health economics."--Jacket
