“…Previous modeling studies undertaken by the authors indicate that cost-effectiveness is markedly susceptible to the cost of the program. 38 The factors that influence program costs include frequency and mode of delivery (eg, face-to-face or by telephone or telemedicine), whether group-based or individual, wage rate of the professional delivering the program. Cost-effectiveness would be optimized by reducing the cost of the program delivery, providing that the effectiveness of the program is not compromised with alternative delivery modes.…”

“…Numa apreciação global, os resultados económicos no contexto em análise foram comparativamente melhores, uma vez que, além dos ganhos em saúde, obtivemos sempre uma poupança de custo associada, o que nem sempre se verificou noutros países. A principal razão está implicitamente ligada a efetividade, ao custo da prevenção, as terapêuticas e as características da população em que foi aplicado (Church et al, 2012;Sach et al, 2012;Farag et al, 2015).…”

“…No entanto, há diversos programas e tecnologias da saúde que são custo-efetivos na prevenção, sobretudo em grupos de risco que constituem as minorias identificadas. Os programas foram adaptados aos fatores de risco que as caracterizam e, no entanto, demonstraram resultados económicos distintos (Church et al, 2012;Sach et al, 2012;Farag et al, 2015). A literatura é insuficiente para caracterizar os resultados económi-cos dos programas nesse âmbito em Portugal, e doravante será necessário aprofundar o estudo económico deles.…”
