Abstract

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has developed return on investment (ROI) tools on tobacco control, physical activity and alcohol. These tools are freely available to download and use. This chapter provides a step-by-step guide to use these tools. The ROI tools can be used to evaluate the ROI of current practice in your area compared with a counterfactual or baseline (no services). The tools can also be used to evaluate the ROI of alternate practice in which one or more interventions in your current practice could be altered. The ROI of this new practice could be compared with the current one. The tools provide several ROI metrics to help users make their business cases.
