Difference in GAF score<br />

FIGURE 7 Scatterplot showing the bootstrapped mean differences in costs and effects of art therapy and standard care<br />

using the GAF score.<br />

The results of the sensitivity analyses are detailed in Table 15. Varying the discount rate from 0%<br />

to 6% did not impact on the findings, nor did increasing the sample size by including psychiatric<br />

admission costs from records only. When the cost of the group interventions are calculated<br />

assuming that all art and activity group assistants are volunteers or students and that the cost of<br />

their contribution is zero, there is no impact on the results.<br />
