Decision Analytic Modeling

The Institute of Health Economics' Decision Analytic Modeling Unit is a new and growing team of interdisciplinary researchers including health economists, biostatisticians, epidemiologists, and clinicians dedicated to using decision analytic approaches to inform decisions relating to the allocation of health resources.
