ES = effect size (measured with Cohen's d); CER = cost-effectiveness ratio; TF-CBT = Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
a
The cost divided by the effect size for a given variable.
b
The CER for each variable divided by the respective cost-effectiveness threshold value (i.e., $3,000 for TF-CBT competence, $39,000 for traumatic stress symptoms and depression symptoms) and multiplied by 100%.
c
The CER for each variable adjusted by a factor of 0.2 (small effect), 0.5 (moderate effect), or 0.8 (large effect).
