This book contains a collection of works showcasing the latest
research into global health economics conducted by leading experts
in the field from the Centre for Health Economics (CHE) at the
University of York and other partner research institutions. Each
chapter focuses upon an important topic in global health economics
and a number of separate research projects. The discussion delves
into health care policy evaluation; economic evaluation;
econometric and other analytic methods; health equity and universal
health coverage; consideration of cost-effectiveness thresholds and
opportunity costs in the health sector; health system challenges
and possible solutions; and others. Case study examples from a
variety of low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) settings are
also showcased in the final part of this volume.The research
presented seeks to contribute toward increasing understanding on
how health policy can be enhanced to improve the welfare of LMIC
populations. It is strongly recommended for public health
policymakers and analysts in low- and middle-income country
settings and those affiliated to international health organizations
and donor organizations.
Collaborative Action for Equity and Opportunity provides a how-to
guide for education, government, and community leaders interested
in creating cross-sector systems of support for students. These
collaborations strive to close achievement and opportunity gaps and
to help children overcome problems stemming from poverty, racism,
and other societal ills. Based on a framework developed at
Harvard's By All Means Initiative, Paul Reville and Lynne Sacks
walk readers through the process of jump-starting a successful
collaboration between school, government, and community leaders.
The authors describe how to form a local Children's Cabinet to lead
the effort, identify goals and strategies, and ensure the long-term
sustainability of the collaboration. In addition to a clear
sequential set of implementation steps, Reville and Sacks provide
field-tested tools, examples of communities that have undertaken
this work, and specific strategies and guidance gleaned from their
collaborations with more than thirty communities across the
country. Collaborative Action for Equity and Opportunity highlights
the roles that school and municipal leaders play in creating
comprehensive systems of support and opportunity for all children
in a community.

In Broader, Bolder, Better, authors Elaine Weiss, of the Broader,
Bolder Approach to Education campaign, and Paul Reville, former
Massachusetts education secretary, make a compelling case for a
fundamental change in the way we view education. The authors argue
for a large-scale expansion of community-school partnerships in
order to provide integrated student supports (ISS) from cradle to
careers, including traditional wraparound services like mental
health and nutrition supports, as well as early childhood
education, afterschool and enrichment programs, and family
supports. The book builds on nine years of research by the Broader,
Bolder Approach to Education, a national initiative endorsed by
more than sixty policy experts and leaders from across the country.
It draws on case studies of effective ISS efforts in twelve diverse
communities to illustrate the variety of strategies that can be
adopted locally. A call to action that also provides examples of
communities that are successfully leveling the playing field for
poor children, this book offers a detailed vision for building
comprehensive systems to support all children.

In the last decade, the Boston Public Schools has undergone
critical reforms that have been of intense interest to school
leaders and policymakers throughout the country. Under the
leadership of superintendent Thomas Payzant, the Boston schools
implemented extensive reform strategies that yielded notable
results. Fittingly, at the end of Payzant's superintendency in
September 2006, the Boston Public Schools received the Broad Prize
for Urban Education for being the most improved urban school
district in the country. A Decade of Urban School Reform looks at
this critical era in the Boston schools and distills valuable
insights and lessons for school leaders and reformers everywhere.
With chapters that explore questions pertaining to governance,
human resources, instruction, data collection, disabilities,
community engagement, and other topics, the book offers a detailed,
comprehensive portrait of a school system managing the complex and
daunting tasks of system-wide reform. The result is a timely,
in-depth contribution to the small group of indispensable writings
on urban school reform.
