The Economic Costs of Nutrition Services for a Low-Income Prenatal Population

II. Indirect and Intangible Costs

Pages 17-26 | Published online: 16 Jan 2009
 

Abstract

This pilot study was conducted to explore a method of determining the value of the indirect costs for a low-income prenatal population to receive nutrition services. Intangible costs were also considered although they were not measured or valued. Indirect and intangible costs are often overlooked components of cost-benefit analyses. If nutritionists plan to use cost-benefit analysis to evaluate their services, the inclusion of indirect and intangible costs will strengthen their studies. The average indirect cost was estimated to be $21.37.
