Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Changes in the health care system and payment plans will likely require pediatric psychologists to illustrate the impact of their services. Cost-effectiveness analyses are one method of demonstrating the potential economic benefits of our services but are rarely used by pediatric psychologists. METHOD: A hypothetical cost-effectiveness analysis was conducted, comparing the costs and outcomes between a behavioral adherence intervention and no intervention for youth with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. RESULTS: Results illustrate how pediatric psychologists can use cost-effectiveness analyses to demonstrate the economic impact of their work. CONCLUSIONS: Efforts to conduct economic analyses could allow pediatric psychologists to advocate for their services. Implications and future directions are discussed.
