Micro-costing analysis of a community-based psychiatric intervention among people who inject drugs in Haiphong, Vietnam.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05886504 (DRIVE-Mind II), which is not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
Introduction: Community-based interventions and peer-support have been shown to improve health outcomes and are increasingly promoted in mental health care. To guide further policy makers, we aimed to estimate, from a societal perspective, the cost of a community based psychiatric intervention for people who inject drugs (PWID). Methods: From March 2022 to May 2022 in Hai Phong, Vietnam, PWID currently or previously diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder were recruited in a 12 months follow-up cohort and received psychiatric and harm-reduction services supported by peers (Drive-Mind 2 cohort study, NCT05886504). Using a micro-costing approach, we estimated the annual per-participant cost for screening PWID for psychiatric disorders, and for providing them for follow-up care and medicine. Findings: All 563 participants who were enrolled in Drive-Mind-2 were screened for psychiatric disorder, and 185 of them were included in a psychiatric follow-up. The total cost of the psychiatric intervention was estimated at $88.7 per participant per year. Recurring goods and services represented 44% of total costs (including medication and transport allowance) and human resources represented 37%. The cost of one screening visit was estimated at $9.8 per participant. Conclusions: Costs for a community-based psychiatric intervention were very low in our study. This data can be used by policy makers in Vietnam to improve a mental health system that is poorly developed and expensive for the patient.
