BRADFORD HILL SEMINAR: Katherine has an international reputation for the economics of genetic technologies and services

Katherine will be introduced by Dr Hilary Burton, Director of the PHG Foundation. The economic evaluation of complex interventions may be problematic on two levels. The complexity means the intervention may not fit into one of the current appraisal systems and/or maximising health is not the only objective. This presentation discusses the implications of a programme of work that focused on clinical genetics services, as an example of a complex intervention. Genetic services, and tests, are a good example of a complex intervention and have broader objectives than just health gain, which may usefully be measured using the concept related to capability which we have called ‘empowerment’. Further methodological work is required to identify the trade-off between non-health (empowerment) and health benefits for other complex interventions.
