SUMMARY:Valuing the economic benefits of complex interventions:  when maxi
 mising health is not sufficient - Professor Katherine Payne\, Manchester C

DESCRIPTION:Katherine will be introduced by Dr Hilary Burton\, Director of
  the PHG Foundation. The economic evaluation of complex interventions may 
 be problematic on two levels. The complexity means the intervention may no
 t fit into one of the current appraisal systems and/or maximising health i
 s not the only objective.  This presentation discusses the implications of
  a programme of work that focused on clinical genetics services\, as an ex
 ample of a complex intervention. Genetic services\, and tests\, are a good
  example of a complex intervention and have broader objectives than just h
 ealth gain\, which may usefully be measured using the concept related to c
 apability which we have called ‘empowerment’. Further methodological w
 ork is required to identify the trade-off between non-health (empowerment)
  and health benefits for other complex interventions.
