Evaluating Cost-effectiveness using decision trees: The HPV case

·         Completed decision tree with calculated cost-effectiveness ratio in terms of cost per DALY averted. A table with expected values in terms of costs and DALYS averted and probability for each branch of the decision tree should be submitted separately.

o   All probabilities and expected values (in terms of both costs and DALYs) should be included in the submitted decision tree as partial credit will be given for completion of part of the tree.

o   You may choose to complete this in a specialized software program (such as TreeAge), in a word processing or powerpoint file, or hand-drawn and scanned as long as it is legible
