Modern drugs are invented according to medical needs, making use of
the latest innovations in technology. They are sophisticated,
efficacious, and costly, but are they effective? Are they superior
to existing - and cheaper - alternatives, and is this superiority
reflected in increased cost-effectiveness? Are they socially more
beneficial? These questions, and those related to the intriguing
search for better quality of life, are addressed in this book by
experts from the fields of medicine, epidemiology, economics,
sociology and the pharmaceutical industry. The book describes the
environmental situation in the United States and Europe in which
pharmaceutical development takes place; it also explores the
grounds for agreement as well as disagreement between the social
and the economic evaluations of progress. It tackles the problem of
outcome measurements, patients' behavior, quality of life, and
individual value judgments and describes methodological boundaries
in the socioeconomic evaluation of drugs.
