For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What are direct health costs?
What are direct non-health costs ?
- Costs incurred in connection with a health intervention or illness, but which are expended for medical care
- transport cost to hospital , making change is house etc.
What are indirect non-health costs?
- temporary absence from work
- Disability
- premature morality
v= wage cost per day
What are the two approaches to derive indirect non-health costs ?
- Human capital approach (USA)
- Friction cost approach (EU)
What is human capital approach?
- the periode from the age until the age of retirement
- real produce losse for society are actually smaller, people are replaced
What is friction cost approach?
- the period from age until s/he is replace
- sick or dead people will be replace by 'unemployed labour' aft a period of adaptation, 'friction period'
What is the cost-of-illness method ?
- Aims to provide insights into the annual cots diseases that tax payers would like to reduce
- Pros:
- to prioritise disease that should be prevented first
- Cons
- Favours the working group
- Does not provide any information on best intervention strategies as COI doe not measure benefits
What is health-adjust life years (HALY) calculation ?
- Measure the combined effect of morbidity and mortality
- Measure burden of lease by considering: age of disease/ death , duration and severity
- combines tow measures, DALY and QALY
What do know of disability weights ?
- Per disability
- Stake hold can be asked to determine stability weights
DALYs: discount and age-weighing
- Discounting: health today is valued right than heart in future
- GBD values people how are more productive higher, correction of age
What is Quality adjusted live years(QALY)? Looks at positive side
- Quantification of health benefits to an individual in terms of quantity and quality of live
- life expectancy * weight for quality of life
- A year in perfect health is assignet value 1
- Often used for estimating the economic value of interventions
Comparison: DALYs vs QALYs. Both and comparison?
- Are measures for disease burden
- Capture both morbidity and mortality
QALY
- Start from perfect health, measure health gain in Qol
- Usually used to compare various health treatments for a particular disease
DALY
- Starts from prevent situation, measure health loss in Qol
- Usually used to evaluate total health loss from a disease
