Abstract
This paper presents the costs and costeffectiveness of ‘Parenting for Lifelong Health: Sinovuyo
Teen’, a non-commercialised parenting programme aimed
at preventing violence against adolescents in low-income
and middle-income countries. The effectiveness of Sinovuyo Teen was
evaluated with a cluster randomised controlled trial in
40 villages and peri-urban townships in the Eastern
Cape of South Africa from 2015 to 2016. The costs of
implementation were calculated retrospectively and
models of costs at scale estimated, from the perspective
of the programme provider. Cost-effectiveness analysis
considers both the cost per incident of abuse averted,
and cost per disability-adjusted life year averted.
