“…Methodological tools and research questions can be tailored to the specific assessment situation. The tools and procedures have their own advantages and disadvantages; they differ in effort and objective, but also in their philosophy of science and methodology (4). The latter shapes the assessment idea and determines whether independent and isolated measures need to be used or if the context of a health technology has to be taken into account.…”

“…The identified publications were assessed with regard to whether they fall under the definition of sociocultural aspects, their purpose and relevance for HTA as well as their strengths and limitations. The results were organized based on the classification of methods suggested by Gerhardus and Stich (4). We organized the methodological approaches into five groups: (i) checklists, (ii) literature reviews, (iii) stakeholder participatory approaches, (iv) primary data collection methods, and (v) combinations of methodological approaches: Checklists offer several questions to be addressed by HTA-researchers.…”

“…The classification of methods we used (4) leans on approaches known by HTA-agencies and it enabled us to give a structured overview of the findings. However, the pragmatic approach to structure the methods presented in the included papers occasionally resulted in difficulties, for example, based on nondistinct categories.…”

“…Our understanding of social and cultural aspects follows the definition of Gerhardus and Stich (4): "With the implementation of a technology, this technology interacts with the society and its different areas. These interactions concern values, attitudes, meanings, balance of power, behavior, and allocation of resources of a society.…”

ObjectivesSocial and cultural aspects are rarely assessed in health technology assessments (HTA), despite being part of most HTA definitions. One hypothesis for the reason why they are hardly considered in HTA is that we lack relevant assessment methods. Accordingly, this review aims at providing an overview of methodological approaches to address social and cultural aspects related to health technologies in HTA.MethodsWe conducted a comprehensive literature search by searching fourteen databases and a hand-search of two pertinent journals. Additionally, we sent a query to all member agencies of the International Network of Agencies for Health Technology Assessment (INAHTA) asking them for methods they use to assess social and cultural aspects.ResultsA total of 125 publications met our inclusion criteria. We grouped the methodological approaches into checklists for experts, literature reviews, stakeholder participatory approaches, primary data collection methods, and combinations of methodological approaches.ConclusionsThere is a wide variety of methods available for assessing social and cultural aspects of health technologies, some of which have been applied in HTA. The presented overview of the different approaches and their merits can facilitate the assessment of these aspects, and improve the knowledge regarding (potential) success and failure of the implementation of a health technology.
