dr discounted rate
^a Estimated based on literature review, simple size weighted average prevalence
^b Estimated based on the number of consultation cases disposed about child abuse at child guidance centres. Probable estimate of abuse death was assumed about 8 times (confirmed AHT cases/possible cases = 8) of the costs of conservative estimate
