University of Oxford contributes leadership in health economics to the IMPROVE PRETERM project, supporting the development of economic evaluation frameworks for comparative effectiveness research. This work is carried out by the Health Economics and Policy Evaluation Group within the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences (NDPCHS).
The group conducts high-quality research on the economic dimensions of health and healthcare in the UK and internationally. Its researchers apply a wide range of economic approaches to understand and improve healthcare delivery, population health, and well-being across diverse settings.
Stavros Petrou, who leads the group, oversees the health economic components of IMPROVE PRETERM, ensuring that economic evidence is rigorously integrated into the project’s analyses and policy-relevant outputs.
