Suppose we are comparing two programs aimed at reducing the incidence of a certain disease:
Program A: A basic awareness campaign.
Program B: An advanced campaign involving awareness plus vaccination.
Program C: Just vaccination.
Assume the following data:
Cost of Program A: $100,000
Effectiveness of Program A: 450 cases prevented
Cost of Program B: $200,000
Effectiveness of Program B: 1000 cases prevented
Cost of Program C: $150,000
Effectiveness of Program C: 700 cases prevented
a. Create a Cost Effectiveness table. Which program is most cost effective? (4 marks)
b. Use the Cost Effectiveness Analysis (CEA) method to determine if one program dominates the other. (6 marks)
