"Going over the parapet": The development of a framework for understanding the translation of evidence from economic evaluations

The thesis contextualises the translation of evidence from economic evaluations into a broader implementation framework, while discussing the features of economic evaluation that make it unique as an innovation. Multiple research methods were used, including a review-based adaptation of the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research, a discrete choice experiment measuring the preferences of healthcare decision makers for aspects of economic evidence, and interviews with health economists about the evidence translation process. A new framework is proposed - the CFIR-EE (Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research for Economic Evidence)
