Abstract

Objective: To summary and critically appraisal the quality of model-based economic evaluations of mental health promotion and prevention interventions. Method: A systematic review was conducted following guidelines in conducting systematic review of Cochrane Collaboration to identify all relevant model-based economic evaluations published ever until the end of 2020. The quality of included studies was assessed using the Philips Checklist.Two researchers independently carried the selection process and quality appraisal. Results: From screening 5.838 searching results, 44 studies were eligible to included in the quality appraisal process. Most of the studies were published after 2010 (39 studies). Most of them were cost-utility analysis with the primary outcome measurement of Quality-adjusted life year (QALY) and employing a societal perspective. The quality of the studies varied greatly. There was significant heterogeneity in time horizon, model cycle, model assumptions, etc. The practice of validating model structure and model assumptions was very poor. Conclusion: The quality and modelling methods varied significantly among studies, making it challenging to synthesize and interpret the results. The quality of the studies needs to be improved in the future, especially the validation of the model's structure and assumptions.
