ODHIN Optimizing delivery of health care interventions

WP 3 - Cost-effectiveness - modelling

Lead by Alan Brennan and Colin Angus - University of Sheffield (USFD), United Kingdom

The objectives of the work package on cost effectiveness were:

1. To adapt the Sheffield Alcohol Policy Model and its appraisal of the cost-effectiveness of screening and brief interventions from its current England context, to model the effectiveness of screening and brief interventions in the Netherlands, Poland and Italy.
2. To use the results of the modelling to consider generalisability of interventions across the EU
3. To investigate modelling long-term cost-effectiveness of dissemination approaches studied in RCTs in other work packages.
