Abstract:
Objectives: To implement cost effective evaluation on the interventions to personality dysfunction in adolescents, so as to provide scientific evidences for extending the interventions. Methods: Cost identification, measurement of the cost, and valuing the cost were implemented to calculate the cost of the interventions. Effects of the interventions were measured based on three indicators: (1) differences of the decreasing scores of Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire-4 (PDQ-4) between intervention group and control group from grade one to three, (2) differences of the decrease number of students with personality dysfunction between intervention group and control group from grade one to three, and (3) differences of the incidence of personality dysfunction between intervention group and control group. Cost-effectiveness ratios (CERs) were calculated for the economic evaluation of the interventions. Results: The total cost of the interventions was 67, 860 Yuan. After intervention, among all of the students in intervention group, the cost of reducing one score of PDQ-4 was 9. 25 Yuan. The cost of reducing one person with personality dysfunction was 6169 Yuan. And the cost of avoiding one person developed personality dysfunction was 2714 Yuan. The cost effectiveness were not balanced among Cluster A, Cluster B and Cluster C personality dysfunction. Similar tendency was found among 10 types of personality dysfunction. Conclusion: The "Intervention Measure on Personality Dysfunction" in adolescents is easy to implement and has relative low costs. Further interventions of the specific cluster or type of personality dysfunction can be carried out based on the findings from this study.
