Journal Article
Release notice - Collaborating to advance economics of noncommunicable diseases
2019
Overview
In July 2018, the Pan American Journal of Public Health published a thematic issue on the Economics of Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs). Integrating economic tools and methods to build evidence for multisectoral NCD efforts is a focus of collaboration between the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC). This ongoing effort, profiled in the issue, aims to encourage interdisciplinary research to bridge NCD evidence gaps. Dr. Theresa Tam, Chief Public Health Officer of Canada, provided an editorial comment in the issue. She stresses the benefits of using the analytical language of economics when communicating with experts outside the health sector and calls for increased collaboration. She acknowledges that harnessing economics will require better integration of economic data into surveillance platforms and adaptation of economic methods for public health applications.
