3. BZ ES GT NI PA CR Identify the correct definition of economic evaluation of health interventions….. 1.Choosing the best intervention using the criterion of minimal costs. 2.Comparing two or more health interventions based on their costs and consequences. 3.Selecting the best intervention for its capacity to produce better health outcomes. 4.Measuring performance of health interventions on a regular basis and controlled manner.

4. BZ ES GT NI PA CR In cost effectiveness analysis, results are presented in natural units of health outcome. Which one of the following examples does not correspond to CEA? …. 1.Cost per year of life gained 2.Cost per new infection averted 3.Cost per gross of condoms distributed 4.Cost per client achieving viral supression

5. BZ ES GT NI PA CR Cost benefit analysis assess interventions’ costs and benefits in the margin. What does that means?... 1.There are more important criteria to choose optimal interventions than mere costs and benefits 2.Costs need to be subtracted from revenues in order to accurately account for benefits 3.Resources should be allocated considering what would benefit the poor and underserved more 4.Assessments are made comparing different interventions according to the incremental cost of an additional unit of benefits

6. BZ ES GT NI PA CR To compare health outputs of different nature and magnitude, cost-utility analysis employs QALYs. What do QALYs measure? … 1.The reduction in years of potential life lost, deducting from that total the equivalent in lifetime of losses in quality of life. 2.The life years gained, adding to that total the improvements in quality of life experienced by patients under treatment. 3.The monetary equivalent to a year life, times the number of years of survival after starting treatment less the cost of treatment. 4.None of the above.

7. BZ ES GT NI PA CR How can economic evaluations inform interventions prioritization?… 1.Providing evidence on interventions having the highest outcome level per unit cost; 2.Informing the set of alternatives that maximize desired outcomes with the available budget; 3.Warning about costly interventions that yield less than optimal results in the short or middle run; 4.All of the above.
