Article Synopsis
- Behavioral interventions using electronic devices, financial incentives, and trained staff are important for promoting healthy behaviors but face challenges in cost assessment for wider adoption.
- Current cost information is often lacking because traditional billing data can't capture the necessary resources, making pragmatic clinical trials crucial yet rarely inclusive of costing studies.
- This article serves as a guide for researchers to effectively collect and analyze cost data during trials, emphasizing the separation of implementation costs from research costs and offering strategies for detailed cost data gathering.
