What is the outcome of a cost-minimization analysis assumed to be?

  1. Different for comparative groups

  2. Dollars

  3. Natural units

  4. Equivalent in comparative groups

The correct answer is: Equivalent in comparative groups

In a cost-minimization analysis, the goal is to identify the option among different interventions that provide the same outcome at the lowest cost. This means that the outcome of a cost-minimization analysis is assumed to be equivalent in comparative groups. This type of analysis is typically used when the outcomes of different interventions are expected to be identical, allowing the decision to be based solely on cost considerations. For the other options: A. Different for comparative groups: In a cost-minimization analysis, the outcomes are assumed to be the same for comparative groups. B. Dollars: While cost is a key consideration in a cost-minimization analysis, the outcome being equivalent in comparative groups is the primary focus. C. Natural units: This is not the primary outcome assumed in a cost-minimization analysis; the focus is on cost equivalence among different interventions.
