Abstract

Purpose: Budget impact analyses (BIAs) aim to estimate costs of evidence-based programs in specific contexts, an important component of implementation decision making. We developed a BIA tool focused on the Smokefree Support Study, a cost-effective smoking cessation program for patients entering cancer care and refined the tool through usability testing.

Methods: The BIA tool was structured using data from the Smokefree Support Study cost-effectiveness study. We refined the tool via usability testing to improve functionality and gain insight into the tool's potential for informing adoption decisions. We recruited participants from sites participating in the NCI-funded Cancer Center Cessation Initiative.

Results: The final BIA tool allowed users generate context-specific cost estimates. Usability testing interviews informed changes to improve the BIA tool's usability and also illustrated users' natural inclination toward adaptation, helped identify the target audience for the tool, and underscored that cost results should be contextualized with other decision criteria to support program adoption.

Conclusion: We developed a BIA tool with which users can generate context-specific cost estimates of the Smokefree Support Study program. The breadth of usability feedback provided by participants and perspectives on using the BIA tool underscore the importance of involving end users in the development of tools and products.

开发和可用性测试的工具,以估计实施戒烟干预对癌症患者的预算影响。
目的:预算影响分析(BIAs)旨在估算特定背景下循证项目的成本,这是实施决策的重要组成部分。我们开发了一个BIA工具,专注于无烟支持研究,这是一个为进入癌症治疗的患者提供的具有成本效益的戒烟计划,并通过可用性测试改进了该工具。方法:BIA工具使用来自无烟支持研究成本-效果研究的数据进行构建。我们通过可用性测试来改进工具,以改进功能,并深入了解工具的潜力,为采用决策提供信息。我们从参与nci资助的癌症中心戒烟倡议的站点招募了参与者。结果:最终的BIA工具允许用户生成特定于上下文的成本估算。可用性测试访谈为改进BIA工具的可用性提供了信息,也说明了用户对适应性的自然倾向,帮助确定了工具的目标受众,并强调了成本结果应该与其他决策标准相结合,以支持项目的采用。结论:我们开发了一个BIA工具,用户可以使用它来生成无烟支持研究项目的具体环境成本估算。参与者提供的可用性反馈的广度和使用BIA工具的观点强调了让最终用户参与工具和产品开发的重要性。

期刊介绍: Cancer Causes & Control is an international refereed journal that both reports and stimulates new avenues of investigation into the causes, control, and subsequent prevention of cancer. By drawing together related information published currently in a diverse range of biological and medical journals, it has a multidisciplinary and multinational approach. The scope of the journal includes: variation in cancer distribution within and between populations; factors associated with cancer risk; preventive and therapeutic interventions on a population scale; economic, demographic, and health-policy implications of cancer; and related methodological issues. The emphasis is on speed of publication. The journal will normally publish within 30 to 60 days of acceptance of manuscripts. Cancer Causes & Control publishes Original Articles, Reviews, Commentaries, Opinions, Short Communications and Letters to the Editor which will have direct relevance to researchers and practitioners working in epidemiology, medical statistics, cancer biology, health education, medical economics and related fields. The journal also contains significant information for government agencies concerned with cancer research, control and policy.
