Estimates of costs for modelling return on investment from smoking cessation interventions.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Modelling return on investment (ROI) from smoking cessation interventions requires estimates of their costs and benefits. This paper describes a standardized method developed to source both economic costs of tobacco smoking and costs of implementing cessation interventions for a Europe-wide ROI model [European study on Quantifying Utility of Investment in Protection from Tobacco model (EQUIPTMOD)].

Design

Focused search of administrative and published data. A standardized checklist was developed in order to ensure consistency in methods of data collection.

Setting and participants

Adult population (15+ years) in Hungary, Netherlands, Germany, Spain and England. For passive smoking-related costs, child population (0-15 years) was also included.
