  1. 1 Tx = average cost-effectiveness ratio taking into account treatment costs only
  2. 2 Tx+Hosp = average cost-effectiveness ratio taking into account treatment and hospital costs
  3. 3 Tx+Time = average cost-effectiveness ratio taking into account treatment and time and travel costs
  4. 4 Dominant = more effective and less costly than comparator \
  5. 5 FI = family intervention
  6. 6 Giving clozapine to one-third of patients with high severity
