Synthesis of Cost of Illness Methodology. Appendix D: Mental Disorders

摘要

This appendix provides a detailed review and summary of the cost of illness studies within the specified ICDA disease category, including direct comparisons among studies where appropriate. Companion appendices provide similar reviews for other diseases. The basic organization of all of the appendices is the same, with a narrative review of the studies and supplementary tables; a complete listing of the studies in chart form with a summary of coded information on each to allow for quick comparison and reference; and a collection of abstracts for all of the studies reviewed in the appendix. For the categories with fairly large numbers of studies, the narrative section of the appendices has been standardized as well, and more tabular material is included.
