a. Threshold analysis reveals that at the base assumption of US$6 for the intervention, no level in the range of assumed CAD reduction is cost saving.

b. Threshold analysis reveals that at a cost below US$0.36 per individual and a 4 percent reduction in CAD (base assumption), the intervention is cost saving.
