Breakthrough RESEARCH—Social and Behavior Change Costing Community of Practice Series Brief #4: Social and behavior change costs associated with insecticide treated bed net distribution for malaria prevention
Get PDFBreakthrough RESEARCH is gathering, analyzing, and sharing evidence on the costs and impact of social and behavior change (SBC) interventions to support the case that investing in SBC is crucial for improving health and advancing development. A review of the SBC costing literature identified 147 studies on SBC costs, methodological shortcomings, and knowledge gaps that can be addressed in new SBC costing studies. To address these gaps, Breakthrough RESEARCH issued the “Guidelines for Costing of Social and Behavior Change Health Interventions,” which lays out 17 principles for conducting high-quality costing studies. This brief complements the guidelines and highlights important issues and practices for SBC costing. Ensuring access to malaria prevention, such as insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs), is an important pillar in the global strategy to eradicate malaria. By promoting uptake and continued and correct use of ITNs, SBC interventions play a critical role during ITN distribution. Understanding the SBC costs embedded within broader program costs is useful for program planners to ensure that enough funding is allocated for SBC. This brief reviews the existing knowledge on SBC costs within ITN distribution campaigns and provides guidance for future costing studies
Breakthrough RESEARCH—Social and Behavior Change Costing Community of Practice Series Brief #5: Are integrated social and behavior change interventions cost-effective? A methodological approach
Get PDFThe Research and Learning Agenda for Advancing Integrated Social and Behavior Change (SBC) Programming, developed by Breakthrough RESEARCH through a consensus-driven process, identified the need for costing and evaluating the cost-effectiveness of integrated SBC as one of four key questions that needs addressing. This brief, developed by Avenir Health, provides an overview of the steps for examining the cost-effectiveness of integrated SBC programs that can be used for future cost-effectiveness analyses. This is the fifth in a series of programmatic research briefs intended to complement the Guidelines for Costing of Social and Behavior Change Health Interventions and support a Community of Practice around SBC costing by highlighting important issues and practices for SBC costing

Costing social and behavior change programming: The role of the denominator
Get PDFThis is the first in a series of brief reports intended to complement Breakthrough RESEARCH\u27s Costing Guidelines and support a social and behavior change community of practice by discussing important issues and practices for social and behavior change costing. Breakthrough RESEARCH is gathering, analyzing, and sharing evidence on the costs and impact of social and behavior change interventions to support social and behavior change investments, which are crucial for improving health and advancing development. A review of costing literature identified 147 studies on social and behavior change costs, methodological shortcomings, and knowledge gaps that can be addressed in new costing studies. To address these gaps, Breakthrough RESEARCH issued its Guidelines for Costing of Social and Behavior Change Health Interventions, which provide 17 principles for conducting quality costing studies
