A Note on Selective Intervention

D. R. Cox and P. J. Solomon

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series A, 1988, vol. 151, issue 2, 310-315

Abstract: The relative merits of selective versus broad‐based intervention programmes are studied analytically. Under some highly idealised assumptions very selective programmes are optimal only rather exceptionally, namely when a sensitive risk score is available for the isolation of high risk individuals and when a selective programme is much more likely to decrease an individual risk score than is a broad‐based approach.
