- understand good practice in the reporting of cost-effectiveness results to decision makers and recognise the analytical issues involved when dealing with individual patient-level data;
- appreciate the potential for using a regression approach to derive parameter estimates to populate a cost-effectiveness model while controlling for patient characteristics.
