a

coded as 2 =  prolonged abstinent and 1 not prolonged abstinent,

b

incremental number of abstinence/QALY,

c

per abstinent respondent, calculated according to the formula ICER/ICUR = (Ci-Cc)/Ei-Ec),

d

dominated =  less costs, more effects compared to the other condition,

e

based on the Dutch algorithm for the EQ-5D-3L scores.
