Just as we should pursue cost-effective interventions, we should also seek to do research in a way that’s maximally informative for the minimum amount of time and resources (see Lieder et al., 2022, for a recent discussion of this).
I really like this point. There is some initial cost of changing from the DALY/QALY approach to the WELLBY one. However, given the smaller variable cost of the WELLBY, in the longterm, the transition seems quite worth it.
