Abstract: What is the most cost-effective way to use limited HIV prevention and treatment resources? How should the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention revise national immunization recommendations so that gaps in vaccination coverage will be filled in a cost-effective manner? To what extent should local communities stockpile antibiotics for response to a potential bioterror attack? This talk will describe examples from past and ongoing model-based analyses of public health policy questions. We will describe OR-based analyses can inform public health decision making. We also provide perspectives on key elements of a successful policy analysis and discuss ways in which such analysis can influence policy.
