reduction of mental health problems for participants

Gesundheit

The incidence of mental health problems in the counterfactual has been estimated using data from the FOR-HOME study that shows that the extent of such problems increases in line with the duration that a person has been homeless. Using this data, it has been estimated that, without Centrepoint’s intervention, the incidence of mental health problems would increase to around 56% before the delayed intervention, after which the incidence would reduce to 31%. As with crime, it has been assumed that the delayed intervention is as effective as Centrepoint’s intervention and reduces incidence by the same proportion (a 45% reduction in the probability in both cases). The cost avoided due to early intervention by Centrepoint has been estimated as the average avoided cost of treatment that would be imposed on the public health system.

Evaluierung der Aktivität

The overall approach has been implemented, to the extent possible, using data from public sources and data collected by Centrepoint on their clients. It was recognised at the start of this project that comprehensive information that would allow a full assessment of costs and benefits was unlikely to be available. The analysis includes sensitivity analysis wherever possible in order to test the reliability of data and/or any assumption made.
