Priority Setting for HIV and Mental Health in Mexico: Historical, Quantitative and Ethical Perspectives. Doctoral dissertation, Harvard University.http://dissertations.umi.com/gsas.harvard:11290http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:11744449Mexico's innovative health reforms have attracted scholarly attention beyond its own borders, making it a valuable case to study how countries set priorities. This dissertation examines the multifaceted topic of priority setting through a multidisciplinary approach: each of the three papers of this dissertation employs one of three disciplinary perspectives: historical, quantitative or normative. The dual focus on mental health and HIV--two highly stigmatized diseases with almost opposite histories of prioritization--further underscores the social and historical aspects of health priority setting.en-USPublic healthPublic policyPhilosophyDeliberationEthicsHistoryHIV/AIDSMental HealthMexicoThesis or Dissertation2014-02-25
