Public health interventions aimed at children aged 5–19 years funded by local authorities in England: a scoping review of economic analyses
This review highlights the diverse range of interventions available to local authorities and the lack of robust economic evidence to support prioritisation of investment as part of the HCP 5-19 years. Further research should focus on developing more robust evidence of the value of public health interventions in this age group, using economic analysis to enable priority-setting, and addressing the evidence gaps identified.
