Scope

What is a good common "currency", i.e. a method to aggregate different benefits and risks into a single indicator in assessments about plant-based food supplements (PFS)?

Definition

TODO: {{#todo:Task 5.4 (Month 6-18): Identification of common currency |Jouni Tuomisto|Plantlibra}}


The identification of the common currency (e.g., QALYs, DALYs) will be informed by the review of task 1 (approaches used and applicability to PFS), by the consumer studies conducted in WP8, by the definition of benefits of WP2 and in consultation with advisory boards. Measurement of benefits that do not involve reduction of disease risk (e.g., enhanced attention) will be achieved through a review of the literature and based on results of WP8 (consumers). Two alternative common currencies will be tested in at least one case study of task 2 and submitted to the scientific advisory board for review. The process of identification will be documented in DWP5-5.
