From: Task-shifting alcohol interventions for HIV+ persons in Kenya: a cost-benefit analysis

Fig. 2

One-way sensitivity analyses for input variables that most affect the base case results. In the figure above, “Rise in labor force participation” is a measure of the percentage rise in weekly hours worked after ARV treatment; “Alcohol-attributable HIV incidence” is the percentage of HIV incidence attributable to alcohol consumption; “Rise in ARV-adherence” is the Increase in the likelihood that an HIV+ patient which moves from non-abstinence to abstinence behavior will be ARV-adherent; “Rise in abstinence due to CBT” is the Difference between intervention and usual care in percentage of patients reporting abstinence at 90 day follow-up; “Monthly Min Wage” is a measure of the Average Monthly Minimum Wage in Kenya in USD; “12 Month tenofovir/3TC/EFV” is the cost of a 12 Month tenofovir/3TC/EFV drug regimen expressed in 2013 USD; “Rise in hours collecting water” is the increase in female hours spent collecting water in past week; “Costs of CBT” is the cost of the CBT rollout per participant; “Rise in hours spent collecting firewood” is the increase in female hours spent collecting firewood in past week; “House worker min wage” is the Average Hourly Minimum Wage for House Worker. The numbers in the parentheses represent the upper and lower bounds of the sensitivity analysis. The numbers listed at the left and right hand side of the bars represent the benefit to cost ratio which would result from the target variable taking on the corresponding max or min value. Note that the vertical axis is at 1.13, but that all cost-benefit ratios above 1.0 are cost-saving and thus most variables maintain that CBT is cost saving across the entire range of variables. Ratios rounded to nearest hundredth. Abbreviations: BCR, benefit-to-cost ratio; CBT, cognitive behavioral therapy. The vertical axis intersects the horizontal axis at approximately 1.13
