In addition, group level data will be compared with a historical group of young people drawn from the Self-Harm Monitoring System database for Victoria. Cost effectiveness will also be examined utilising triangulation of data collected via surveys and Self-harm Monitoring System database. The expected outcomes will inform the extent to which the service is effective, cost-effective, maintainable and scalable.Read moreRead less
