Learning Objectives:

Recognize the role of economic analysis in evaluating the effectiveness of IPV interventions
Recognize the challenge of extrapolating from intermediate outcome measures (e.g. referral to specialist IPV services)
Discover the testing of an economic model with sensitivity analyses and the importance for informing policy

Description:
We will report on the cost-effectiveness analysis of a system level domestic violence intervention, based on the IRIS randomized controlled trial. The economic model shows cost-saving from a societal and health services perspective.
