The research in Smarter Choices for Better Health is organised in four action lines: Prevention, Value Based Healthcare, Evaluation of Healthcare and Health Equity.
Prevention
The goal of this action line is to identify the most promising interventions to induce healthy behaviour, focusing on incentives or nudges that are sustainable and cost-effective.
Value Based Healthcare
The researchers in this Action Line strive to provide new insights in how ‘value’ can be measured. They also develop and test promising interventions aimed at increasing value in healthcare.
Evaluation of Healthcare
Researchers in this Action Line work on a broader evaluative framework, in which outcomes are measured in terms of overall quality of life (i.e., wellbeing).
Health Equity
The researchers of this Action Line are developing a normative framework to help policy makers with the trade-off between maximising total population health and minimising health inequality when prioritising interventions.
