Example 3: Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of a Humboldt County Screening and Referral Program with a Patient Navigator to Improve Maternal and Infant Outcomes for Pregnant Women with Substance Use Disorder (Valuation Model)

With support from Blue Shield of California Foundation, through an Exploring the Value of Prevention grant, JSI Research & Training and Minga Analytics set out to develop and test feasible and accessible valuation methods and tools with multi-sector collaborative partners in California. We selected a set of partners who reflected diversity in terms of geography, issue/ focus area, and valuation goals and questions. As an addendum to the Democratizing Valuation guide, these written descriptions of the valuation models and the valuation models themselves provide more detail about the work Minga Analytics and JSI carried out in partnership with each collaborative.
