Aggregate annual cost is calculated as the sum of total costs during the first 90 days and the average monthly cost over months 4 to 33 of the intervention times 9 (to provide a 12 month perspective on intervention costs). Based on steady state year of 2010.
Phase 1 represents the first 90 days of the RMC intervention. RMC costs during this phase include a specialized HIV intervention (Wechsberg et al., 2004) delivered at months 1, 2, and 3.
Phase 2 reflects intervention activities beyond the first 90 days. The cost estimates represent average quarterly costs for a nine-month period based on total intervention costs over months 4 to 33.
To estimate the average cost per quarter, participation in 2010 was weighted based on the actual months of participation in intervention activities during Phase 1 and Phase 2.
