Footnotes

a)

Standard errors are bootstrapped (replications=1000) community estimates (overall or within-research site) with one exception. The standard errors for cost estimates associated with Coalition Members and their Associates reflect multiple imputation (mi=30).

b)

Per capita costs are calculated by dividing community costs by the community population for each community. The per capita cost for each community is averaged over the 33 communities for the per capita average.

c)

Payments made by HCS to implement CTH.

d)

Opportunity costs are costs not paid for by HCS, e.g., in-kind time from community members and non-HCS financial support.
