As CEAs tend to have narrower application and are relevant to interventions that have a common effect of interest, it is unsurprising that the CEAs in this review generated a variety of outcome measures such as number of incidences of substance abuse [
48]; initiation of tobacco use, instances of delinquent behaviour [
33]; decreases in burden of disease for mental health [
26]; number of (established) smokers prevented [
31,
37]; days of abstinence, per cent of adolescents in recovery [
39]; reductions in tobacco smoking [
49], alcohol use [
41,
49], binge drinking [
41,
49], marijuana use [
44,
49], inhalants use [
49]; number of quits, life years gained [
40,
46]; reductions in experimental smoking [
50]; decreased smoking prevalence, delayed initiation of smoking, quality of life [
43]; preventing methamphetamine use [
30]; reductions in weekly smoking prevalence [
51]; reductions in days detained, reductions in subsequent referrals [
35]; reduced instances of crime [
52]; increased condom or oral contraceptive use [
34]; level of emotional distress, decreased externalising and internalising behaviours [
47]. Some analyses broadened their measure of benefit and converted data into utility-based outcomes such as incremental cost effectiveness ratio (ICER) per DALY avoided [
26], life years saved [
37], QALYs gained [
37], criminal activity free years (CAFYs) [
42], and depression free days (DFDs) [
45].
