Cost Analysis and Performance Assessment of Partner Services for Human Immunodeficiency Virus and Sexually Transmitted Diseases, New York State, 2014.

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the programmatic costs of partner services for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydial infection.

STUDY SETTING: New York State and local health departments conducting partner services activities in 2014.

STUDY DESIGN: A cost analysis estimated, from the state perspective, total program costs and cost per case assignment, patient interview, partner notification, and disease-specific key performance indicator.

DATA COLLECTION: Data came from contracts, a time study of staff effort, and statewide surveillance systems.

PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Disease-specific costs per case assignment (mean: $580; range: $502-$1,111), patient interview ($703; $608-$1,609), partner notification ($1,169; $950-$1,936), and key performance indicator ($2,697; $1,666-$20,255) varied across diseases. Most costs (79 percent) were devoted to gonorrhea and chlamydial infection investigations.

CONCLUSIONS: Cost analysis complements cost-effectiveness analysis in evaluating program performance and guiding improvements.
