Data sources for value of time: Master’s level therapist time was valued at the Florida Medicaid payment rate of $18.33 per quarter hour. Patient/parent travel costs to and from sessions was 23 cents per mile [51]. Patient/parent indirect cost was the value of lost work time (uncompensated hours missed multiplied by the parent’s hourly wage rate). Parent opportunity costs were valued at the median hourly wage ($18.06 for college graduates and $11.79 for high school graduates; [52]). The Last Observation Carried Forward method was used for the intent-to-treat sample. Comparisons across outcomes measures should be made with caution due to differing scales
