Calculations of intervention costs were based on publications and additional information provided by authors.
We did not include those patients who refused or were not approached in our calculations of intervention effectiveness.
Permitting greater flexibility in the form of the possible intervention renders calculation of optimal intervention strategies analytically intractable, thus requiring evaluation by Monte Carlo-based methods.
A framework allowing for calculation of an intervention dose in any health promotion programme was developed.
Since both options were possible, we used examples of both options in the calculation of the intervention costs.
The implementation of complex public health and health promotion programmes is measurable thanks to the calculation of an intervention dose.
As a result, calculation of the intervention's effect size is adjusted for differences over time in the control arm [ 28].
We did sensitivity analyses by imputing the missing values with the last observation carried forward, truncation of extreme values, and calculation of the intervention result by linear regression with adjustment for baseline risk.
The calculation of BCC interventions at such a disaggregated level was not found in other studies in Bangladesh.
