Medication and treatment - 0.10 (-0.20, 0.01) - 0.77 (-1.1, -0.42) 3.24 (2.51, 3.86) - 0.37 (-0.41, -0.31) 2.24 (1.59, 2.85) 14.20 (11.75, 16.49)

1 The model assumes various duration for strategies to reach their maximum impacts, ranging from 2 to 10 years.

2 The net benefit under the health sector perspective includes flow-on health service and medication costs and monetised Quality Adjusted Life Years; it does not include cost involved in implementing specific interventions.

3 The net benefit under the societal perspective includes flow-on health service and medication costs, monetised Quality Adjusted Life Years, other households’ costs, and value of productivity; it does not include cost involved in implementing specific interventions.
