Notes:
For the selected program inputs, we show two analyses. The upper row reflects a best-case scenario, and the lower row, a worst-case scenario.
In the sensitivity analysis for supervisory wages, the wages of the nurse certified diabetes educator, clinical psychologist, and internist are varied simultaneously, applying the same ratio compared to their base case values. To save space and enhance table readability, the values shown in the Price column of this table are those for the nurse certified diabetes educator. Table 2 shows the corresponding values for the clinical psychologist and internist.
