2. Economic analysis.
| Author year | Country | Type of economic analysis | Study population | Interventions | Intervention‐specific costs and cost‐effectiveness | Resources (i.e. costs to health services other than intervention costs; patient/society costs and productivity) |
| Jordans 2010; Tol 2012 | Sri Lanka | Cost analysis | Children (both male and female, 9 to 12 years of age) | Classroom‐based intervention (CBI) vs waiting list | Costs: cost analyses for intervention group demonstrated mean cost per service user was USD 8.85 (56% of which is human resources cost) | Health service costs: ‘costs’ included broader package |
| ‐ | ‐ | Cost data: calculated | ‐ | Delivered by LHWs (paraprofessional interventionists); training: 2 weeks in Sri Lanka | Cost‐effectiveness: cost analyses represented basic calculations. Presented data did not allow for more sophisticated analyses | Patient cost: none reported |
| Chang 2015 | Jamaica | Cost analysis | Adults (female, age not specified) | Parenting intervention with routine primary health care vs usual care | Costs: the cost per child was USD 100.9 for 1 year of intervention | Health service cost: USD 100.9 per child including equipment purchases, materials, training, and wages |

| ‐ | ‐ | ‐ | ‐ | Self‐help digital‐based intervention | Cost‐effectiveness: depending on the definition of clinically meaningful improvement, 7.1 to 9.7 students needed to receive the intervention for 1 student to experience a clinically meaningful improvement, which translated to a cost of USD 25.35 to USD 34.62 per student | Patient cost: none reported |
