This document summarizes a session on new methods in health technology assessment to help policymakers understand how Canadians value health. The session aims to start a discussion on better integrating values into decisions through two topics: how values can be elicited and conducting economic evaluations. It outlines the speakers that will discuss using best-worst scaling and discrete choice experiments to estimate health state values on the QALY scale. The document also notes that presentations and an evaluation survey will be available after the session and lunch will follow. It poses questions about placing monetary values on life and suffering, potential hypothetical bias, and how to account for value considerations in willingness to pay or cost-effectiveness analyses.
