Description
Summary:This case study explores the application of cost analysis methods to "real-world" community-based interventions in health and social care. Real-world settings are distinct from textbook cost analyses completed as part of an experimental design, or as part of a model-based analysis. We explore the benefits and drawbacks of conducting a cost analysis in these contexts by presenting an analysis of a supportive housing intervention for persons with mental illness and problems with substance abuse.
