To measure more accurately the country's social health, a Vassar College team of social scientists devised an Index of Social Health with 16 indicators, including infant mortality, drug abuse, health insurance coverage, and poverty among the aged.

Suppose you are currently (i.e. 2024) performing a cost-effectiveness analysis and you wish to include the cost per visit of a hospital admission for an acute ischemic stroke in a patient without major complications or comorbidities in your analysis.

Suppose you estimate the equation colGPA = Bo + B1 faminc+ B2hsGPA+ B3SAT + u where faminc is a student's family income that is reported on a survey when the student is in college. Because the data are self reported, you believe that the family income data recorded in faminc is not the exact income that a family has, but rather an approximation or best-guess. Which of the following is likely to be true about the estimated relationship between family income and college GPA 31 and the true relationship between family income and college GPA B1? A. E(B1) = B1 В. Е(3) > В C. E(B1) < B1 D. E(B)) =
Quality Health Care in the U. S. In his inauguration address, U. S. President Barack Obama mentioned the poor state of the U. S. health care system as a fundamental issue facing the nation and his administration. The sobering truth of America’s health care system is that it dramatically under-performs. In an August 2008 poll by the Commonwealth Fund, 8 of 10 adults agreed with the statement that the health care system “needs either fundamental change or complete rebuilding”. This becomes even clearer when comparing the system with those of its international peers. In 2000, the World Health Organization ranked the performance of the U. S. health care system 37th in the world. In this and other international comparisons, despite spending more than twice per capita than other developed countries, the U. S. were beaten on virtually every metric of health care cost, quality and access. In other words, they spend more and get less. Scoring the U. S. health care system on key benchmarks…

2. For this question use the HUI3 scoring system for the health utilities index. Assume a patient has a baseline HUI3 state of (2,2,1,4,1,3,2,4) and a 1-year follow-up HUI3 health state of (2,2,1,3,2,1,2,2) after participating in a RCT. How many QALYs does this person gain in the first year after treatment? a. Use the information from above to answer the following questions. Suppose the cost of treatment was $20,000 and the average person lived an additional 10 years. What is the cost per QALY gained for the treatment (using discounted QALYS)? Does the treatment appear cost-effective? Explain.
18. Car and Taxi Ages When the author visited Dublin, Ireland (home of Guinness Breweryemployee William Gosset, who first developed the t distribution), he recorded the ages of randomlyselected passenger cars and randomly selected taxis. The ages can be found from thelicense plates. (There is no end to the fun of traveling with the author.) The ages (in years) arelisted below. We might expect that taxis would be newer, so test the claim that the mean age ofcars is greater than the mean age of taxis.
