Value added from screen then treat among rural communities in Burkina Faso. Regional maps of the mean value added (i.e., MDA costs minus MSAT costs) and boxplots of value added estimates are shown on the left and right panels, respectively. Positive values (blue) indicate regions where MSAT is favored whereas negative values (red) indicate regions where MDA is favored. Whiskers in boxplots indicate 95% credible intervals. When these intervals contain both positive and negative values, there is no significant difference regarding costs between strategies (gray). Cost of diagnostic test (RDT) and treatment were set at $0.60 and $2.55, respectively. a Added value estimates ignoring any potential costs associated with false negative results. b Value added estimates when cost associated with false negative results is set to the cost of receiving delayed treatment. c Value added estimates when cost associated with false negative results includes the cost of receiving delayed treatment and 1 day of lost wage (based on minimum wage [39]). In all of these scenarios, we assume no cost associated with false positive outcomes
