| description |
China's AIDS epidemic is mostly
concentrated in high-risk populations, especially injection
drug users and sex workers. Implementation of harm reduction
programs in China has expanded rapidly in the past few
years. The government resources devoted to AIDS nearly
tripled between 2004 and 2005, and have increased sixty-fold
relative to their level in 2000. This level of commitment
warrants a careful examination of the efficiency with which
these programs operate. As China's AIDS program is
scaled up, issues concerning the allocation and
effectiveness of resource use are rapidly gaining importance
The objective of the study is to present the cost and
cost-effectiveness of harm reduction interventions in
Guangxi Province to help policymakers and program staff to
mount a well-targeted, cost-effective, evidence-based
HIV/AIDS prevention response. The study consists of two
parts. The first part is to compile and analyze the
resources used and their costs for delivering harm reduction
services. The second part is to model the epidemic impact of
behavioral changes produced by these HIV prevention
interventions. The study examined three types of harm
reduction activities: methadone maintenance treatment (MMT);
needle exchange programs (NEPs); and a program for sex
workers. Thus, identifying ways of increasing productivity
may be promising avenues for enhancing efficiency. The
cost-effectiveness analysis, based on an epidemic model
liking with behavioral parameters, found the needle exchange
program to be the most cost-effective of three interventions
examined in this study. |
