Costs of preparing to implement a virtual reality job interview training programme in a community mental health agency: A budget impact analysis.

This study presents an initial evaluation of the budget impact of preparing to implement VR-JIT in a CMHA. Cost considerations for future implementation preparation will be discussed. Given that the cost to prepare to implement an intervention can hinder its adoption, results provide an important analysis for decision-makers that may enhance uptake. Future work will determine the cost-effectiveness of VR-JIT implemented within IPS.
