Select population scenarios for a CHB screening and treatment and HC C screening program in Australia
A: B Positive pilot B: Greater Sydney
E: Focused National
Total population in area 709,900 2,030,100 6,001,300
Total target population in areaAge 35+, China-, HK- or Vietnam-born
45,000 105,800 218,500 Concentration of target population amongst those aged ≥ 35 years
12.3% 10.1% 6.5%Total CHB cases in the areaFor ages 35+, all countries of birth/ethnicities 8,300 20,300 52,000Overall CHB prevalence in areaFor ages 35+, all countries of birth/ethnicities 2.3% 1.9% 1.5%
ESTIMATE
NB: Pilot areas have highest concentration of target population and highest CHB incidence
Estimated recruitment costs for a Greater Sydney program have been modelled to focus on GP recruitment
3
Recruitment costs assume a locally-focused programFor a larger program –the profile of costs would vary, to reach a larger population which is more dispersed and has a lower overall CHB seroprevalence rate
About $56.40 per person recruited in the first three years
Recruiting costs in first three years of a programIn thousand AUD, not discounted
Based on $200 per GP in target area
Source: Economic model
The costs of the program overall are driven primarily by the costs of CHB treatment

• PR• Community education - seminars,
pamphlets, etc.
• Letters and other contact with GP• GP information packets and
materials• Any compensation or costs for
reviewing GP records
