HOW CAN MICRO-COSTING BE USED TO EVALUATE SMOKING CESSATION AND RELAPSE PREVENTION INTERVENTIONS?
Micro-costing can improve collection of accurate data on costs and estimates of the real resource costs of interventions, targeted at underserved hard-to-reach populations, alongside clinical trials. This improves our understanding of the levels and types of resources necessary for effective implementation of smoking cessation and relapse prevention programs among low-income pregnant women.
