Costs of preparing to implement a virtual reality job interview training programme in a community mental health agency: A budget impact analysis.
Article in Journal of evaluation in clinical practice, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
RATIONAL, AIMS AND
objectivesIndividual Placement and Support (IPS) is an evidence based strategy for facilitating employment among adults with severe mental illness (SMI) where staff may lead mock job interviews to prepare clients for real-world interviews (a method with limited scalability and cost effectiveness). A virtual reality job interview training program (VR-JIT)-delivered via the internet-has demonstrated efficacy for increasing employment among adults with SMI. Now, VR-JIT is being implemented with a community mental health agency (CMHA) and evaluated for its effectiveness within IPS. This study is a budget impact analysis, evaluating the costs of preparing a CMHA to implement VR-JIT.
methodImplementation preparation occurred over 7 months from October 1, 2016 to April 30, 2017. CMHA staff (n = 15) and external research partners (n = 3) tracked their hours completing implementation preparation activities. Salaries plus a 28% fringe benefit rate were used to derive a per-hour salary amount for each individual and applied to each activity. Non-labor equipment costs were obtained from purchase receipts. A budget impact analysis evaluated the expenditures associated with preparing the CMHA to implement VRJIT.
resultsThe total implementation preparation costs equaled $25,482. Labor costs equaled $22,882 and non-labor costs equaled $2,600. In total, 655 person-hours were spent preparing for VR-JIT implementation (e.g., preparing lab space, training, and supervising operations).
conclusionsThis study presents an initial evaluation of the budget impact of preparing to implement VR-JIT in a CMHA. Cost considerations for future implementation preparation will be discussed. Given that the cost to prepare to implement an intervention can hinder its adoption, results provide an important analysis for decision-makers that may enhance uptake. Future work will determine the cost-effectiveness of VR-JIT implemented within IPS.
