Cost-effectiveness of a victim improvement package: randomised controlled trial for reduction of continued symptoms of depression or anxiety in older victims of community crime
The addition of VIP to TAU for older victims of community crime generated a lower mean point estimate for costs, and failed to improve quality of life compared with TAU alone. While this places VIP in the south-west quadrant of the cost-effectiveness plane, the magnitude and significance of the QALY difference do not justify declaring VIP cost-effective or TAU not cost-effective. Future research is needed to identify the most cost-effective intervention.
