About Mujer Mas Segura • A brief combined theory-based intervention to simultaneously reduce sexual and injection risks among IDU-FSWs ages 18+ • IDU-FSWs from Tijuana and Cd. Juarez were randomized to simultaneously examine two interventions • Interactive Vs. Lecture formats • Measures: questionnaires; biological samples to detect four STIs including HIV

Impact of Injection Risk Interventions on Injection Risk Index: Tijuana and Cd. Juarez Strathdee, et al. 2012
Goal of the CE analysis To assess the cost-effectiveness of a behavioral intervention combining two interventions to increase safer sex and safer injection practices among FSW-IDUs in Ciudad Juarez and Tijuana, Mexico. To inform evidenced based Sex work-harm reduction policies in the Mexico-U.S. border region in respect to access to sterile syringes and condoms among FSW-IDUs.
Cost Effectiveness Model • Discrete transitional state mathematical model • Costs and outcomes for one-year and remainder of life of FSW-IDUs comparing a lecture format to each individual interactive components and the combined MMS intervention. • Societal perspective • Multivariate sensitivity analysis • Cost and outcomes discounted at an annual rate of 3% • Currency adjusted to 2012 U.S. Dollars

Cd. Juarez– Multivariate Cost-Effectiveness Analysis For ciudad Juarez – Multivariate analysis Interactive safer sex/ Lecture safer injection
Conclusions • In the absence of expanded NEP the combined Mujer Mas Segura intervention is likely to be cost-effective • Improved access to sterile injection equipment at the community level shows a larger impact in reducing unsafe injection practices among FSW-IDU, with no significant added benefit from the interactive safer-injection component of the Mujer Mas Segura Intervention.
