该研究的目的是计算成本并评估实施以健康素养为重点的干预措施的成本效益，以促进逾期未进行这些检查的韩裔美国妇女进行乳腺癌和宫颈癌筛查。研究人员估计了评估这种干预措施的整群随机对照试验的成本。有效性以研究干预组和对照组的女性接受乳腺癌或宫颈癌筛查的数量来衡量。成本效益计算为干预组接受的每次额外筛查的增量成本。比较干预组和对照组，每次筛查的增量成本效益比估计为 236 美元，不包括项目开发成本。这些发现表明，与其他计划相比，该计划为促进癌症筛查提供了更具成本效益的方法。当地卫生官员可以利用这些信息来指导有关减少新移民女性癌症差异的决策。
The study’s objectives were to calculate the costs and evaluate the cost-effectiveness of implementing a health literacy-focused intervention to promote breast and cervical cancer screenings among Korean American women overdue for these tests Researchers estimated the costs of a cluster-randomized controlled trial that evaluated this intervention. Effectiveness was measured as the number of breast or cervical cancer screenings received by women in either the intervention and control arms of the study. Cost-effectiveness was calculated as the incremental cost of each additional screening received by the intervention group. Comparing the intervention and control group, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was estimated to be US$236 per screening, without program development costs. These findings suggest this program, when compared with others, offered a more cost-effective approach for promoting cancer screening. Local health officials could use this information to guide decisions about reducing cancer disparities among recent immigrant women.
