Cost-effectiveness of a domestic violence and abuse training and support programme in primary care in the real world: updated modelling based on an MRC phase IV observational pragmatic implementation study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the implementation of the Identification and Referral to Improve Safety (IRIS) programme using up-to-date real-world information on costs and effectiveness from routine clinical practice. A Markov model was constructed to estimate mean costs and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) of IRIS versus usual care per woman registered at a general practice from a societal and health service perspective with a 10-year time horizon.

Design and setting

Cost-utility analysis in UK general practices, including data from six sites which have been running IRIS for at least 2 years across England.

Participants

Based on the Markov model, which uses health states to represent possible outcomes of the intervention, we stipulated a hypothe
