CRICOS Provider Code: 0113B CYCLING INTERVENTIONS AND COST-EFFECTIVENESS VICKI BROWN - PHD STUDENT SUPERVISED BY PROF ROB CARTER AND PROF MARJ MOODIE

CRICOS Provider Code: 0113B CONTENTS 1. What we know: – Cycling and health – Effectiveness and cost-effectiveness 2. What I am planning to do: –Incorporating health effects related to change in physical activity into transport appraisal.

CRICOS Provider Code: 0113B 1. WHAT WE KNOW

CRICOS Provider Code: 0113B CYCLING AND HEALTH

CRICOS Provider Code: 0113B LIMITED RIGOROUS EVIDENCE EXISTS ON THE EFFECT OF CYCLING INTERVENTIONS Methodological challenges include: – Controlled studies difficult, not feasible – Time periods to observe changes can be long, study time frames often short – Data issues – Other factors influence modal choice

CRICOS Provider Code: 0113B WHAT IS NEEDED….. More research into the effect of interventions, attempting to address methodological challenges.

CRICOS Provider Code: 0113B METHODS FOR ESTABLISHING COST-EFFECTIVENESS Transport appraisal Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) Costs and benefits in monetary terms Health – commonly limited to accidents/injuries and environmental effects (pollution, emissions) Health evaluation Cost Effectiveness Analysis (CEA) Benefits using measures that incorporate both the quality and quantity of life

CRICOS Provider Code: 0113B CAVILL ET AL REVIEW Systematic review: economic evaluations of transport infrastructure and policies incorporating health effects related to physical activity. Interventions mostly cost-effective - some cost-saving.

CRICOS Provider Code: 0113B WHO HEALTH ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT TOOL (HEAT)- CYCLING HEAT estimates the economic benefit of reduced deaths Adult populations aged years Risk of death (mortality)

CRICOS Provider Code: 0113B 2. WHAT I PLAN TO DO

CRICOS Provider Code: 0113B OBESITY Approx. 63% of Australian adults now classified as overweight or obese 1 in 4 Australian children

CRICOS Provider Code: 0113B CRE IN OBESITY POLICY Scoping & Analysis of Potential Solutions Priority Setting & Policy Implementation Policy Impact Monitoring of Actions & Outcomes Policy process Stream 1Stream 2Stream 3Stream 4 CRE research program Economic credentials of policy options Policy process analysis Policy impacts & systems changes Monitoring for accountability What are the economic credentials of (non- health sector) policy options? How can evidence- informed policy development & implementation be enhanced and sustained? What are the impacts of policies on environments & systems? What progress is being made by public & private sectors in Australia & internationally?

CRICOS Provider Code: 0113B TRANSPORT-RELATED INTERVENTIONS PhD thesis: Economic evaluations of 5 transport- related interventions that may have an impact on physical activity, BMI, obesity.

CRICOS Provider Code: 0113B SIGNIFICANCE OF THE RESEARCH

CRICOS Provider Code: 0113B UPDATE OF CAVILL REVIEW Systematic review of economic evaluations of transport interventions that include health effects related to change in physical activity. 27 new studies.

CRICOS Provider Code: 0113B “Nudge” interventions Behavioural change “Push” interventions Structural change Education and awareness Social marketing Travel planning Economic instruments Legislation Infrastructure Prices Taxes Subsidies Transport interventions SCOPING Active transport to school; Education and social marketing; Congestion pricing; Public transport pricing, fuel excise; Provision of infrastructure.

CRICOS Provider Code: 0113B CRE METHODOLOGY FOR ASSESSING INTERVENTIONS ACE approach, as utilised in ACE-Obesity and ACE-Prevention projects. Key characteristics: Standardised evaluation protocol. Scoping papers to assess potential interventions for modelling Technical Advisory Panels (TAPs) and expert guidance to provide advice and recommendations Other factors

CRICOS Provider Code: 0113B ECONOMIC METHODS Comparable High quality Transparent Morbidity and mortality 1. ACE APPROACH Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) 2. COST-BENEFIT (CBA) APPROACH WHO HEAT (mortality only) CRE work: methodological challenges of CBA

CRICOS Provider Code: 0113B CONCLUSION In-depth analysis of the potential role and impact of transport- related interventions on obesity prevention. Contribution to the body of evidence on the physical activity related health effects of transport. Another step towards routine inclusion of physical activity related health benefits into transport appraisal.

CRICOS Provider Code: 0113B CEA Compares costs and outcomes like CBA, but difficulties with monetising health effects so uses utility based measures: QALY – measure of disease burden including both quantity and quality of life; Perfect health=1, death=0. DALY – measure of disease burden, no. years lost to disability, death.
