Workshop 2b: Health Economic Evaluations of Person-Centered Care: From Evidence to Study Design

Tuesday May 5, 2026 09:00 - 12:00 G1

Workshop leaders: Hanna Gyllensten, Pia Johansson

Track: Pre-conference workshops

This second session is built as a workshop allowing participants to work on own projects, based on a structured project planning tool and with the assistance of experienced health economists. Participants will discuss and illustrate, based on their own projects, how health economic research questions can be included in research applications, study protocols, and the reporting of study results. The workshop thus focusses on enhancing participants’ practical skills in designing a health economic evaluation of a person-centered intervention. The overall goal of the workshop is that participants leave with a drafted plan for a health economic evaluation of their own project. Please bring a laptop to the workshop, as the session includes hands-on exercises. We also encourage you to bring a project idea that you would like to develop into a health economic evaluation plan. If you do not yet have a project in mind, no worries; we will provide example cases that you can work with during the session or you can join one of the other participants in discussing their project. Target group: Anyone planning or conducting a health economic study in the field, we recommend coming to the introductory session before attending the workshop).
