Professor Tracey Young is a Health Economist in the School of Health and Related Research (ScHARR) at the University of Sheffield.

I’ve over 24 years’ experience in applied health service research so it’s a privilege to be using my expertise to co-lead a talented team of researchers, bringing about real change and impact.

My areas of research and interest include methods for measuring uncertainty in economic evaluations, development of patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) and economic evaluations alongside trials and observational studies. I’m supporting the team by using my experience in economic evaluations in a variety of different contexts.

Laura Bojke is Professor in the Centre of Health Economics (CHE) at the University of York.

I’ve expertise in a wide range of applied and methodological projects, within pharmacoeconomics and public health. Along with my extensive cost-effectiveness modelling experience, including my role as part of the evidence review group for NICE, I’ve worked on several projects involving the use of expert elicited data within decision analytic models and developed guidance for their use in HTA.

Our theme has a strong focus on working with local decision makers, through the support we provide to the core themes. I’m excited to be co-leading the theme and working with a talented group of researchers, collaborating locally, nationally, and internationally.

Dr Matt Franklin, Health Economist, Senior Research Fellow of the School of Health Related Research (ScHARR) at the University of Sheffield.

I’m experienced in the use of routinely collected health and care data for both randomised and non-randomised study designs, and parameterising decision-analytic models, specifically to conduct economic evaluations. I also have experience in the application of causal inference methods specifically for economic evaluation, utility score estimation to calculate QALYs, and psychometric analysis of preference-based outcome measures.

My work with the Mental Health theme has involved using the Recovering Quality of Life - Utility Index (ReQoL-UI) for psychometric assessment, trial-based economic evaluation alongside the EQ-5D-5L, and mapping from the PHQ-9 (depression) and GAD-7 (anxiety) measures to the ReQoL-UI or EQ-5D-5L. I’m also working with local decisions makers on unlocking data to Inform public health policy and practice.
