Why Use DALYs?
- More inclusive measure of population health that includes both mortality & morbidity
- Quantifiable & reflects epidemiological shifts in disease
- Comparability: useful for assessing & prioritizing public health policy and intervention options
- Some examples of being used previously to assess/prioritize public health interventions (e.g. water quality in both developed & developing countries)
