“This book describes various aspects of how to make an economic argument to drive policy for public health programs. … students in the health professions, including public health, would benefit from the book. The authors/contributors are well respected authorities in their fields. … There are many health economics books on the market, but none that use the ROI model as this book does.” (Carole A. Kenner, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2018)
