Resumo |
<b>Objective</b>: The aim of the present study was to investigate the economic case for the implementation of the Triple P-Positive Parenting Program on a population basis in Queensland, Australia, in order to reduce the prevalence of conduct disorder in children. <b>Method</b>: Threshold analysis was undertaken together with a limited cost-effectiveness analysis. <b>Results</b>: The Triple P-Positive Parenting Program is a dominant intervention; that is, it costs less than the amount it saves, until the reduction in prevalence falls below 7% where net costs become positive. <b>Conclusions</b>: Triple P is likely to be a worthwhile use of limited health funds. The economic case is promising, but further research is required to confirm the study results. <br /> |
