dc.description.abstractObjective: To examine the resource use and cost impact of high school basketball injuries in Calgary and area high school basketball players and to determine the cost of a balance training program in preventing injury in this population. Design: Economic Evaluation in conjunction with a Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial. Main Outcome Measures: Mean cost per player by treatment arm; mean cost of injury in individuals suffering an injury, by treatment arm; cost to prevent one injury in a Calgary and area high school basketball player. Results: The mean cost per player and mean cost of injury were significantly greater for the intervention group than the control group. The cost of preventing one injury is $2000.40. Conclusions: The current practice for injury prevention in high school basketball (i.e. the status quo) was less expensive and marginally as effective as the balance training program. Further investigation to address poor compliance to the program is required.
