Overview: Most economic evaluations of health care programmes at the moment are cost­ effectiveness and cost-utility analyses. The problem with these methods is that their theoretical foundations are unclear.

In the environmental and traffic safety fields it is instead common to carry out traditional cost-bene:fit analyses of health improving programmes. This striking difference in how health programmes are assessed in different fields was the original motivation for wr
