In such settings, the lack of a single unitary agency e.g., the ministry of health that governs resource allocation limits the use of CEA tools to inform resource allocation at a sector level.
There are four ways in which such lists are commonly used: to set priorities for resource allocation for species recovery; to inform reserve system design; to constrain development and exploitation; and to report on the state of the environment.
Given the extent of the impact of cane toads in their current range in Australia, it is of particular interest to know how far cane toads will spread and how rapidly [6], in part to inform allocation of control and conservation efforts [2].
General population values are typically used as the measure will often be used to inform allocation decisions of public funds [ 6].
In the absence of fully quantitative data to undertake a HHRA, risk-ranking approaches based on exposure assessment modeling could be adopted and developed to inform allocation of resources for data generation as part of an HHRA of ARB.
Ensuring that participants are well informed has been challenging for the centers and has required the allocation of adequate time to inform participants about the study and to review the consent form.
In this paper we describe recruitment and participation in the pilot panel study and discuss the potential for extension of this approach to fulfil the need for eliciting utilities from the general public for research purposes and to support the need for these values to inform allocation policy decisions.
For example, epidemiological data on the time, circumstances, and location of homicides in Cali, Colombia, have been used to inform allocation of police resources and state and city regulations, resulting in a 30% decrease in homicide, representing about 600 fewer violent deaths between 1994 and 1997.
