Valuing the health and wellbeing aspects of community empowerment using
economic evaluation techniques - PhD in Health Economics
Neighbourhood regeneration processes can yield certain quantifiable outputs
such as new housing, improved neighbourhood amenities and better facilities.
More challenging to identify and value however are the benefits arising from
community empowerment and involvement in community development activities,
including any benefits to individuals’ health and wellbeing. In order to
provide evidence that regeneration investment is value for money an economic
evaluation is required to identify and value the full spectrum of possible
costs and outcomes.
This studentship will be nested within the GoWell programme
http://www.gowellonline.com/, an ongoing project evaluating neighbourhood
regeneration in Glasgow. The studentship is part of an exciting new
initiative in ‘The Economics of Public Health’ between the University of
Glasgow’s MRC/CSO Social & Public Health Sciences Unit
http://www.sphsu.mrc.ac.uk/ and the Glasgow Centre for Population Health
http://www.gcph.co.uk/. The studentship will involve the identification and
valuation of proposed and actual benefits from community empowerment and
community development activities within a small number of Glasgow
communities. The use of economic evaluation methods will be employed to
generate evidence on the value of these outcomes in the context of other
regeneration outcomes.
You will be supervised by Dr Emma McIntosh,
http://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/medicine/staff/emmamcintosh/, of the Health
Economics and Health technology Assessment (HEHTA) team at the Centre for
Population Health Sciences
http://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/medicine/research/populationhealth/hehta/ with
secondary supervision from Professor Carol Tannahill,
http://www.gcph.co.uk/people/27_prof_carol_tannahill, Director of the
Glasgow Centre for Population Health and Kenny Lawson,
This three year studentship carries a stipend of £13,590 with an intended
start date of 1st November 2011. The studentship will be of interest to
graduates with a first- or upper-second-class honours degree or equivalent,
particularly those with an MSc in Economics, Health Economics or a relevant
social science degree. This studentship is available to UK and EU
applicants.
Further information can be obtained from Dr Emma McIntosh
Emma.McIntosh at glasgow.ac.uk to whom applications, including a CV and the
