Abstract

This chapter describes steps for developing health policy models. The discussion begins with considerations for identifying a research question and developing a model conceptual framework. It next provides guidance on how to build and implement the model, as well as how to populate or parameterize a model. We end by examining the techniques for verifying model performance. Special emphasis is placed on developing applied health policy models, particularly those used to inform policy decisions in resource-limited settings.
