The Cost-Utility Analysis (CUA) is the most appropriate type of economic analysis to

this analysis is termed as the Quality-Adjustment Life- Years (QALYs). It is useful in medicine
and health cost-effectiveness for it uses standardized measures to compare between populations
and the state of the diseases. The CUA also does not segregate between a relatively healthy
functional individual and an individual with a severe disability (Torrance, 1986).
Question four
In a health program evaluation, the stakeholders are involved for a purpose and with aims

populations rather than individuals. In involving the stakeholders in the evaluation of the
childhood immunization program in Saudi Arabia, I would prioritize on growing and ensuring
proper regulation of the private sectors together with the private-public sector partnerships.

 I would ensure accurate collection and analyses of the information and data concerning
the problem from several sources. This information has to involve morbidity and
