Comprehensive Economic Analysis of the National Cancer Screening Programs at CDC
CPCRN Fall MeetingOctober 19, 2010
Importance of Economic Work
• Resources are limited
• Rigorous economic analyses are required to:
– Evaluate the effectiveness, costs, and cost-effectiveness of the Program
– Monitor the allocation of Program resources to balance efficiency and equity
• Systematically provide information/evidence to policy makers
Introduction of National Cancer Screening Programs at CDC
• NBCCEDP (1990-present)– National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection P
rogram • Provides access to breast and cervical cancer screening
services to underserved women in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, 5 U.S. territories, and 12 tribes
• CRCCP (2009-2014) – Colorectal Cancer Control Program
• Population based program to enhance colorectal cancer screening
Introduction of National Cancer Screening Programs at CDC
(Cont.)• NPCR (1992-present)
– National Program of Cancer Registries • Collects data on the occurrence of cancer; the type, ext
ent, and location of the cancer; and the type of initial treatment.
• NCCCP (1998-present)– National Comprehensive Cancer Control Programs
• Provides seed money and technical support for the development and implementation of CCC plans.
Economists in DCPC
• Donatus U. Ekwueme, PhD, MPH– Leading economic evaluation of NBCCEDP and NCCCP
• Florence K. Tangka, PhD, MPH– Leading economic evaluation of NCRCCP and NPCR
• Chunyu Li, PhD, MD– Program evaluation, Comparative-Effectiveness analysis,
cost of illness, policy analysis
Selected Economics Project (I)• Program-specific research
– Cost estimation• Direct • Indirect
– Effectiveness evaluation– Policy analysis
• General economics research– Cost of illness– Comparative-Effectiveness analysis– Health care access and use– Trends
Brief History of NBCCEDP Economics Study
•This project was originally funded in FY04 (Led by Dr. Ekwueme)
• It was the first comprehensive economic analysis in the Division that set the stage for all subsequent economic analyses being conducted in our national programs today
Selected Economics Project (II)• Program-specific research
– Cost estimation• Direct cost• Estimate the unit costs of delivering clinical and non-clinical services in the
program (e.g., cost per woman screened or served, cost per cancer detected) (Ekwueme et al., 2008; Tangka et al., 2008)
• How much funding is required annually by each program? What funding sources are used by each program (i.e., CDC, state funds, in-kind funds)?
• What is the distribution of costs among the key program components for each program?
• What is the average and incremental non-clinical cost per person screened for each program? Does average and incremental cost change across the years for each program?
Data Collection Methods for Cost Estimation• Web-based data collection tool
Cost Assessment Tool (CAT)
• Program’s cost methods are based on the activity-based costing approach
– Cost data is collected by program activity, which provides an accurate reflection of the value of resources (economic cost) utilized in providing services via the program

Percentage Distribution of Cost per Program Component
Selected Economics Project (III)• Program-specific research
– Cost estimation• Indirect cost • NBCCEDP & NCRCCP survey among Program participants (Ekwueme et
al., 2008)
• Resource Allocation Tool (RAT) Given a specific budget, the RAT can identify the most efficient way to
allocate the funding among the grantees To determine the minimum and maximum number of NBCCEDP-eligible
women that can be screened given the available resources (e.g., program budget)
To determine the amount of resources required to screen 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% of eligible women
Selected Economics Project (IV)• Program-specific research
– Effectiveness evaluation• % of eligible population screened (Tangka et al., 2006, 2010)
– 14% for breast cancer– 10% for cervical cancer
• Life years saved by NBCCEDP compared with no program (Ekwueme et al., 2010)
– Policy analysis• Impact evaluation of National programs (Howard et al., 2010; NCRCCP
surveys)• Potential impact of Health Reform on NBCCEDP
Future Economics Project • Program-specific research
– Cost estimation– Effectiveness evaluation (e.g. eliminating health disparities)– Comparative-Effectiveness evaluation– Returns of investment– Other National policy initiatives
