Altruism, efficiency and health in the family / Mark Dickie, Matthew J. Salois -- Adolescent girls' preferences for HPV vaccines : a discrete choice experiment / Derek S. Brown ... [et al.] -- Gender differences in risk attitudes / L. Warshawsky-Livne ... [et al.] -- Mutual altruism : evidence from Alzheimer patients and their spouse caregivers / Markus K鋌nig, Christian Pfarr, Peter Zweifel -- How should the health benefits of food safety programs be measured? / V. Kerry Smith, Carol Mansfield, Aaron Strong -- Pesticides and health : a review of evidence on health effects, valuation of risks, and benefit-cost analysis / Damian Tago, Henrick Andersson, Nicolas Treich.

Measurements of individual benefits of different health and medical interventions are fundamental for prioritizing among different alternative uses of resources in the healthcare sector. While psychometric measures do not necessarily provide information sufficient for assigning relative values to different health states, preference-based approaches produce measures that allow comparisons of such values. In this volume of the series of Advances in health economics and health services research, entitled Preference measurement in health, the papers cover altruism within families, differences in risk attitudes, and estimation of health benefits of food safety. Specific topics include efficiency and altruism, comparison of mother and daughter values of HPV vaccination for daughters, differences in risk attitudes between women and men, how context matters in valuing food safety programs, and valuation of health risks associated with pesticide use.
