Nitpick. I do not think the above is exactly supported by the graph with the cost-effectiveness comparison. According to this, only Friendship Bench (48.5 WELLBY/k$) is over 5 times more cost-effective than GiveDirectly, which corresponds to having a cost-effectiveness over 45.6 WELLBY/k$ (= (1 + 5)*7.6/10^3). There are 2 charities, Friendship Bench and StrongMinds (40.4 WELLBY/k$), which are more than 5 times as cost-effective as GiveDirectly, which corresponds to having a cost-effectiveness over 38.0 WELLBY/k$ (= 5*7.6/10^3), but they both deliver the same type of mental health intervention (“Task-shifted group psychotherapy”).
Hi Jamie. I agree.
