Question

which of the following is true of cost - effectiveness analysis in public health? it compares costs and benefits of different interventions to identify the best value for resources spent it ignores potential harms and side effects it assumes that all lifesaving interventions are equally valuable it measures only the total financial cost of an intervention

Explanation:

Cost - effectiveness analysis in public health aims to compare different interventions. Its core is to assess the costs and benefits (not just financial costs) to determine the best use of resources. It does not ignore harms/side - effects (as these can impact the overall effectiveness) and does not assume all lifesaving interventions are equally valuable (as different interventions have different cost - benefit ratios).

Answer:

It compares costs and benefits of different interventions to identify the best value for resources spent.
