The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has been regarded as a role model for the implementation of CEA, and is being closely watched by health care policy makers throughout Europe, and in the United States. This volume dissects the robustness of the agency’s technology appraisal processes as NICE evaluates innovative methods for diagnosis and intervention. Given the unique features of attention-deficit\/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) — starting with it being diagnosed mainly in children and adolescents, its high comorbidity with other psychiatric conditions, and its considerable economic impact — the disorder is a perfect focal point for discussion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Schlander is founder and chairman of the independent \u003cstrong\u003eInstitute for Innovation \u0026amp; Valuation in Health Care (\u003c\/strong\u003eInnoValHC), a non-profit, non-partisan scientific organization dedicated to research related to the utilization, effectiveness, efficiency, and quality of health care, with particular emphasis on novel approaches of service provision.
