Cost-Effectiveness Analyses of Adolescent- and Young-Adult-Focused HIV Interventions Incorporating HIV Transmission: a Scoping Review of Modeling Methods and Proposed Guidance.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Adolescents and young adults (AYA) are disproportionately affected by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) globally, with high-burden population subgroups differing across regions. Cost-effectiveness modeling analyses of AYA-focused HIV interventions have provided vital information to policy makers by projecting long-term health and economic impacts of interventions' effects on reduced HIV transmission. To provide a broad overview of available modeling approaches and identify gaps in methods reporting, we evaluated modeling methodologies used in AYA-focused cost-effectiveness analyses incorporating HIV transmission.

Methods

We searched PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science for peer-reviewed articles that were published January 2006 to August 2023 and described models t
