Economic costs of stillbirth prevention

Economic model of stillbirth prevention – we will be building a model to allow the cost-effectiveness of stillbirth prevention activities to be measured. For example, if an intervention to be trialled as a part of the CRE was estimated to produce a 4% reduction in stillbirth then we will be able to model potential cost-effectiveness if the intervention was implemented nationally, before the commitment of resources.
