Title: Reimagining health economic value frameworks through pediatric patient voices
Location: Seminar room 410, Level 4, 207 Bouverie Street, Parkville
Abstract: This thesis aims to expand the boundaries of economic valuation frameworks through the incorporation of pediatric patient voice. This will be achieved through a systematic review and 6 projects that evaluate research questions of implementation and acceptability of interventions as well as Patient Reported Outcome Measures across the pediatric life course. These studies will serve as test cases through which I will illustrate the various ways to elicit different patient conceptualization of value by using qualitative methods.
