Table 4.
Average DALYsa averted by the outcome and assumed distribution of risks. DALYs averted were calculated by comparing Mobile Link with usual care. Means and 95% predicted intervals in parentheses from 10,000 model simulations are presented under different assumptions around the distribution of endline risks among control and intervention groups (normal, β, and uniform).
