“…Again, this assertion is not new, as analysts adopting a societal perspective have long been encouraged to include all costs and effects, regardless of where or on whom they occur [3]. Consequently, it has been advocated that costs typically not borne by the individuals undergoing an intervention, such as productivity costs [18] and costs in other sectors like education [19], should be included in economic evaluations that adopt a societal perspective. These costs have not always been labelled as spillovers, but can certainly be seen as such, as they affect people other than the patients themselves.…”

An important issue in economic evaluations is determining whether all relevant impacts are considered, given the perspective chosen for the analysis. Acknowledging that patients are not isolated individuals has important implications in this context. Increasingly, the term “spillovers” is used to label consequences of health interventions on others. However, a clear definition of spillovers is lacking, and as a result, the scope of the concept remains unclear. In this study, we aim to clarify the concept of spillovers by proposing a definition applicable in health economic evaluations. To illustrate the implications of this definition, we highlight the diversity of potential spillovers through an expanded impact inventory and conduct a mapping review that outlines the evidence base for the different types of spillovers. In the context of economic evaluations of health interventions, we define spillovers as all impacts from an intervention on all parties or entities other than the users of the intervention under evaluation. This definition encompasses a broader range of potential costs and effects, beyond informal caregivers and family members. The expanded impact inventory enables a systematic approach to identifying broader impacts of health interventions. The mapping review shows that the relevance of different types of spillovers is context-specific. Some spillovers are regularly included in economic evaluations, although not always recognised as such, while others are not. A consistent use of the term “spillovers”, improved measurement of these costs and effects, and increased transparency in reporting them are still necessary. To that end, we propose a research agenda.

“…In other words, it is an analysis to determine practices and policies implemented at the lowest cost. The planning and implementation of public sector development projects such as education, health, social welfare, defense, and others use cost-effectiveness analysis (Pokhilenko, 2021;Bosio, 2023). Cost-benefit analysis is not suitable for the implementation of long-term service projects because service projects offer benefits in terms of the number of beneficiaries but cannot be evaluated in monetary terms.…”

The Quadruple Helix model approach, which integrates academia, business industry, community, and government, has outlined university-society relationships more clearly, particularly in strengthening charismatic leadership. Malaysia's economic growth has shown resilience despite facing economic challenges and global leadership struggles. To maintain this momentum, efficient and effective comprehensive management in national development planning and public expenditure will continue to be enhanced to foster sustainable economic growth. However, discussions on the role of cost assessment in enhancing charismatic leadership competence based on the quadruple helix model are limited. Therefore, this concept paper aims to elucidate the role of cost assessment in enhancing charismatic leadership competence based on the expectations of the quadruple helix model. The quadruple helix expectations through academia, business industry, community, and government will be explored from the perspective of cost assessment. There are four assessment techniques summarized within it aimed at making decisions regarding the use of costs or resources that can help improve the efficiency and effectiveness of program implementation, namely Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA), Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA), and Cost-Utility Analysis (CUA). Further research proposals that can be developed from this concept are related to specific studies using one of the cost assessments, such as Pre-School Program Cost-Effectiveness Assessment or Bachelor of Education Program Cost-Effectiveness Study. This concept has the potential for long-term development through collaboration with key players in the national financial training industry. Higher education institutions can take the opportunity to upgrade accounting course content or through courses that enhancing organizational efficiency and excellence.

“…On a societal level, adverse sexual health outcomes, like other public health consequences, can generate impacts both within and outside the health sector. Those impacts that occur outside the health sector could include costs due to lost work/labour productivity, school absence, housing insecurity and reduced physical, mental or social well-being 5 15 16. In this paper, we will use the term intersectoral costs and benefits to refer to costs and benefits beyond the health sector 17 18…”

ObjectivesSexual health is a complex public health challenge and can generate wide-ranging health, social and economic impacts both within and beyond the health sector (ie, intersectoral costs and benefits). Methods are needed to capture these intersectoral impacts in economic studies to optimally inform policy/decision-making. The objectives of this study were (1) to explore the different intersectoral costs and benefits associated with sexual health issues and interventions, (2) to categorise these into sectors and (3) to develop a preliminary framework to better understand these impacts and to guide future research and policy.DesignA qualitative study based on in-depth semi-structured online interviews.SettingOECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) member countries.ParticipantsProfessionals with expertise in the field of sexual health including clinicians, medical practitioners, sexologists, researchers, professionals working for international governmental or non-governmental health (policy) organisations and professionals involved in implementation and/or evaluation of sexual health interventions/programmes.MethodsSampling of participants was undertaken purposively. We conducted in-depth semi-structured online interviews to allow for a systemic coverage of key topics and for new ideas to emerge. We applied a Framework approach for thematic data analysis.Results28 experts were interviewed. Six themes emerged from the interviews: (1) Interconnections to other areas of health (ie, reproductive health, mental health), (2) Relationships and family, (3) Productivity and labour, (4) Education, (5) Criminal justice/sexual violence, (6) Housing, addiction and other sectors. The findings confirm that sexual health is complex and can generate wide-ranging impacts on other areas of health and other non-health sectors of society.ConclusionThese different sectors need to be considered when evaluating interventions and making policy decisions. The preliminary framework can help guide future research and policy/decision-making. Future research could explore additional sectors not covered in this study and expand the preliminary framework.
