<p dir="ltr">This deposit contains an economic model of screening for type 1 diabetes in the UK. The main model is a Macro enabled Excel file. In case future versions of Excel change the functionality of the model, each worksheet is saved as a .csv and the macro used in the Excel file to automatically conduct the scenario analyses is saved as a .txt file in the Model data as .csv and .txt files.zip folder. The README.txt file describes what each file is and what data it contains. </p><p dir="ltr"><br></p><p dir="ltr">As there is little work on screening for type 1 diabetes in the UK context, the model predicts the maximum cost that screening could cost and still be cost-effective at thresholds used by UK decision makers. </p><p dir="ltr">This model is attached to the following paper submitted to NIHR open access:</p><p dir="ltr">Pollard, D.; Besser, REJ.; Dayan, C. <i>et al</i>.
