Table 3.

Sensitivity analysis with modeled costs per screening based on a reduction in personnel responsible for screening and notification at clinics

Clinic Community # Observed Clinic Costs (from Table 2) Per-screening costs at each clinic after personnel adjustment
1 $37.08 $30.93
2 $29.64 $26.62
3 $28.16 $24.89
4 $26.26 $22.27
5 $25.27 $20.57
6 $33.53 $32.12
Average cost per screening $29.56 $25.69

Notes: Estimated per-screening costs at each of the 6 control clinics based on a reduction in number of personnel involved with screening and notification. Each clinic is designated 1 CHV dedicated to both screening and notification. One program assistant dedicates 100% of their time to monitoring screening and notification at 2 clinics. The program coordinator will commit 5% time to each clinic, and lab technicians dedicate time to each clinic based on the number of women screened (same as before, average 10% time). Each clinic will therefore only have 4 team members: CHV, HE, program coordinator, and lab technician. The personnel ratio per clinic will reduce from 2 to 1.65. No other changes were made to estimated costs
