What does Cost-Utility analysis express interventions in terms of?

Utilities
Monetary units
Physical quantities
Direct comparisons

The correct answer is: Utilities

Cost-Utility analysis expresses interventions in terms of utilities. Utilities represent the preference or value that an individual or society assigns to a particular outcome or intervention. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the concept of utilities. Option B refers to monetary units, which is the measure of currency or money and does not take into account values or preferences. Option C refers to physical quantities, which is the measure of the size or magnitude of something and does not account for preferences or values. Option D refers to direct comparisons, which is the act of assessing the similarities and differences between two or more things and does not capture the concept of utilities. Therefore, A, which represents utilities, is the correct and most appropriate answer.
