“…In exploring the spread of violence, researchers have also recognized the tendency for violent acts to be preceded or followed by other violent acts, to cluster, to spread from place to place, and to mutate from one type to another (30). Health-economic evaluations create opportunities to routinely include economic considerations in identifying interventions that can be targeted to generate high long-term value by maximizing violence reduction (31). Initiatives have been implemented in select Latin American countries that have successfully reduced the amount of violent crime in their respective locations and have subsequently created increased capital to be applied to other public spending initiatives.…”

Objective. To calculate the economic impact of violence across Mexico in 2021 and project costs for 2021–2030. Methods. Incidence data was obtained from the Executive Secretariat of the National Public Security System, (SESNSP), National Population Council (CONAPO), National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), and the National Survey of Victimization and Perception of Public Safety (ENVIPE). Our model incorporates incidence estimates of the costs of events associated with violence (e.g., homicides, hospitalizations, rapes, extortions, robbery, etc). Results. The economic impact of crime and violence in Mexico for the year 2021 has been estimated at about $192 billion US dollars, which corresponds to 14.6% of the national GDP. By reducing violence 50% by 2030, we estimate savings of at least US$110 billion dollars. This represents a saving of US$1 376 372 for each company and more than US$66 771 for each Mexican. Conclusion. Violence and homicides have become one of the most pressing public health and economic concerns for their effect on health, development, and economic growth. Due to low cost and high impact, prevention is the most efficient way to respond to crime and violence while also being an essential component of sustainable strategies aimed at improving citizen security.

“…There are still limited economic evaluations of adolescent violence prevention interventions in low- and middle-income countries, particularly of large-scale interventions (45,7). Our findings around the cost-effectiveness of parenting support implemented using routine-delivery costs matches a previous economic evaluation of the original PLH Teen intervention in South Africa that also modelled a similar ‘lean’ scenario (6).…”

“…Experimental studies are recommended for evaluating cost-effectiveness (9-11). However, the cost and complexity of such studies, especially when more than one intervention is under consideration, means that another methodology may be better suited to filling the urgent need for estimates of cost-effectiveness.Decision analytic modelling is a much cheaper alternative approach for generating estimates of cost-effectiveness that uses data from secondary sources including published trials and observational studies (7,9).

There is limited evidence around the cost-effectiveness of interventions to prevent violence against children in low- and middle-income countries. We developed a decision-analytic model to estimate the cost-effectiveness of 1) a community outreach intervention to link eligible households to anti-poverty cash grants, and 2) a group-based parenting support intervention, and 3) a group-based parenting support ‘plus’ linkage of eligible households to anti-poverty cash grants intervention for preventing adolescent violence victimisation in Mpumalanga province, South Africa. The target population was families with an adolescent living below the national food poverty line. Modelled violence outcomes were emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. Intervention effectiveness was conditional on interventions’ effect on two evidence-based protective factors for adolescent violence: food security and caregiver supervision. Cost-effectiveness ratios were expressed per DALY averted and evaluated against a South Africa-specific willingness-to-pay threshold. We varied model parameters to consider routine service delivery versus trial-based costing, and population-average versus high prevalence of violence. For routine service delivery costing, both community grant outreach and parenting support interventions were cost-effective at population-average prevalence (ACER=USD2,650, and ACER=USD2,830 per DALYs averted, respectively), and high prevalence of violence (ACER=USD1,330 and ACER=USD2,305 per DALYs averted, respectively). The incremental cost-effectiveness of adding grant linkage to parenting support was USD271 and USD177 at population-average and high prevalence of violence, respectively. For trial-based costing, none of the interventions were cost-effective at population-average prevalence of violence, and only community grant outreach was cost-effective at high prevalence of violence (ACER=USD2400 per DALY averted). Cost-effectiveness estimates are expected to be conservative based on our only modelling intervention effects on three violence outcomes via two protective factors. Findings indicate that investments in community grant outreach, and parenting support interventions are likely to be cost-effective for preventing adolescent violence. Adding a grant linkage component to parenting support would enhance this approaches cost-effectiveness.

“…Past research demonstrates that community violence intervention strategies, including hospital-based violence intervention programs (HVIPs), have cost benefits in reducing violent injury recidivism as well as ED revisits. 1,11,15,16 Critically, HVIPs often focus on clearly defined, relatively narrow patient populations as a means of maximizing program impact, usually in the context of resource limitations. The results of this study suggest that distinct patient subgroups exist beyond those typically served by HVIPs.…”
