Description
Supplied group-session budget allocation per attendance, without program-effectiveness or coverage decisions.
Research questionnaires and interview records distinguish answered, declined, omitted, unpresented, and inapplicable items. Timing and support annotations also affect their denominators. A completeness measure or scale transformation describes those records without establishing an instrument score or a mental-health assessment.
Supplied group-session budget allocation per attendance, without program-effectiveness or coverage decisions.
When to use this tool
Use Mental Health Program Session Cost Share when you need the particular completeness, timing, polarity, or bookkeeping term for supplied research and interview records.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter fixedProgramCost, sessionCount, attendeesPerSession, facilitatorCostPerSession, subsidyFraction. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read totalCost, grossPerAttendance, netPerAttendance. Use the output convention below.
Calculate totalCost=fixedProgramCost+sessionCount*facilitatorCostPerSession, divide by sessionCount*attendeesPerSession for grossPerAttendance, and multiply by one minus subsidyFraction for netPerAttendance. Require positive session count and attendance base and nonnegative costs.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| fixedProgramCost | Fixed Program Cost | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| sessionCount | Session Count | Required. Safe integer; minimum 1. |
| attendeesPerSession | Positive supplied attendee count or average per session. | Required. Finite number; strictly above 0. |
| facilitatorCostPerSession | Facilitator Cost Per Session | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| subsidyFraction | Subsidy Fraction | Required. Finite number; minimum 0; maximum 1. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| totalCost | Total Cost | Required. Finite number. |
| grossPerAttendance | Gross Per Attendance | Required. Finite number. |
| netPerAttendance | Net Per Attendance | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Attendance per session may be a supplied average. Subsidy applies to all modeled cost; the tool does not verify coverage, funding eligibility, delivered care, or program effectiveness.
- The field tables state structural bounds; the mechanics also specify cross-field constraints. Malformed inputs and unsupported domains cause errors. A successful false flag, empty branch value, or zero placeholder has the meaning stated above and is distinct from an input error.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Signed zero is exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use the relevant validated instrument and its documented missing-response and scoring procedures when the task requires an assessment. Verify research annotations and timing before combining record terms.
