Developing a Health-Economic Model to Assess Cost-Effectiveness of Preventive Interventions for Children of Parents With Mental Illness or Substance Use Disorder

Key Points

Cost-utility analysis highlights GB-CBT as a promising strategy to support children of parents with mental illness.
The Markov model offers a structured approach to assess various interventions' cost-effectiveness.
Findings suggest that implementing GB-CBT could effectively reduce mental disorder rates in this vulnerable group.
Support for using the model may encourage informed decision-making in mental health care practices.

Abstract

The Markov model provides a flexible tool for evaluating the cost-utility of user-defined COPMI interventions to support informed decision making in mental health care. It is freely available for academic purposes from the authors upon request. Results suggest GB-CBT may be a cost-effective strategy for preventing mental disorders in COPMI.
