Promoting human health and safety by reducing exposures to risks
and harms through regulatory interventions is among the most
important responsibilities of the government. Such efforts
encompass a wide array of activities in many different contexts:
improving air and water quality; safeguarding the food supply;
reducing the risk of injury on the job, in transportation, and from
consumer products; and minimizing exposure to toxic chemicals.
Estimating the magnitude of the expected health and longevity
benefits and reductions in mortality, morbidity, and injury risks
helps policy makers decide whether particular interventions merit
the expected costs associated with achieving these benefits and
inform their choices among alternative strategies. Valuing Health
for Regulatory Cost-Effectiveness Analysis provides useful
recommendations for how to measure health-related quality of- life
impacts for diverse public health, safety, and environmental
regulations. Public decision makers, regulatory analysts, scholars,
and students in the field will find this an essential review text.
It will become a standard reference for all government agencies and
those consultants and contractors who support the work of
regulatory programs. Table of Contents Front Matter Executive
