An economic evaluation of setting up physical barriers in railway stations for preventing railway injury: evidence from Hong Kong.
J Epidemiol Community Health 65(10):915-20 (2011) PMID 21282146
Setting physical barriers, for example platform screen doors (PSDs), has been proven to be effective in preventing falls onto railway tracks, but its cost-effectiveness is not known. For economic evaluation of public health interventions, the importance of including non-health factors has been noted despite a lack of empirical studies. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of PSDs, which are installed in part of the Hong Kong railway system, for preventing railway injuries.
