Cost-Effectiveness of an Interdisciplinary, Internet-Based Transgender Health Care Program in Germany: Economic Evaluation Alongside a Randomized Controlled Trial
From a societal perspective, i²TransHealth was unlikely to be cost-effective, even at high WTP per additional QALY. However, the comparison of i²TransHealth with a waiting list could have led to a distortion of the results with regard to health care service usage. When considering additional reliable improvement on the BSI-18 GSI as health effect measure, the probability of cost-effectiveness of i²TransHealth is unclear depending on the WTP.
