Cost-Effective Analysis: “Cholera Control Measures in Haiti; a Cost-Effective Analysis based on Oral Cholera Vaccine Treatments in Bangladesh and WASH Model Interventions”

Just need help on the math portion of this.

The costs that you collect in the proxy country (ies) are either total costs (for a specific intervention reaching a number of people-the target population of the intervention) or unit costs (total costs divided by the target population for this intervention). These are the costs that you need to adjust to reflect the differences in costs/prices between the proxy country and the country of choice. WARNING: you cannot adjust the cost per DALY averted directlyas this cost depends on both cost and effectiveness (costs comparison could reveal a positive gap while effectiveness comparison could reveal a negative one).
After adjustment, you need to multiply the adjusted unit cost by the target population for the intervention in the country of choice. You thus obtain the total adjusted cost.
You then divide the total adjusted cost by the adjusted number of DALYs averted to obtain the cost effectiveness ratio for the intervention in the country of choice (the CER is a cost per DALY averted).
