With resources always scarce, limited resources have to be targeted at those interventions, prevention and cure, that give the greatest population health gain at least cost. Mere identification of what works in prevention is inadequate unless this evidence is supplemented with economic analysis that identifies what is cost effective. Public health without the use of economics is incomplete.
由于资源总是稀缺的，有限的资源必须用于那些能以最低成本带来最大人群健康效益的干预措施、预防和治疗。仅仅确定预防方面有效的措施是不够的，除非用经济分析来补充这一证据，以确定哪些措施具有成本效益。不运用经济学的公共卫生是不完整的。
