Table 2 Factor, variable and method for the economic evaluation
From: Cost-utility analysis of a dance intervention for adolescent girls with internalizing problems
Factor | Variable | Method |
|---|---|---|
Intervention costs | Intervention costs for the stakeholder | Individual costs were calculated based on the number of participants in the intervention group, and estimated fractions of costs for dance teacher, rent, equipment and overhead[28, 29]. |
Health care savings | Health care savings for stakeholder | Savings for health care were estimated based on self-reported data from the last term before baseline and 20 months use after the start of the intervention. Number of visits was compared with the baseline value at all follow-ups. Costs for each visit were calculated based on estimated costs for salary, etc[30, 31]. and total number of visits to the school nurse. |
