Incremental Cost Analysis of Training of Trainers and Helpers in Problem Management Plus (PM+) Using an Ensuring Quality in Psychological Support (EQUIP) Competency-based Approach... by Gloria A. Pedersen, Niko C. Gautam, Kriti Pudasaini, Nagendra P. Luitel, Michael W. Long, Alison Schafer, Brandon A. Kohrt

“…A standard PM+ helper training costs an average of NPR 207,906.35 (US$1,663.25) compared to an EQUIP-based PM+ ToH costing NPR 211,122.71 (US$1,688.98), for an incremental NPR 3,216 (US$25.73) per ToH. An EQUIP competency-based approach requires initial investment through training of PM+ trainers; thenceforth, differences in time and costs are negligible for training PM+ helpers when using an EQUIP approach compared to a standard approach. …”
