  1. 1. The individual benefit is the adjusted Odds Ratio from logistic regression.
  2. 2. The PRI (proportion requiring intervention) is the proportion of service users who currently do not have the favourable value of the variable. For example, the proportion that currently does not get all the prescribed medicines is 80%.
  3. 3. The gain per 1000 is calculated by multiplying the PRI by the risk difference. This is the proportion who could potentially become satisfied with the service as a result of each intervention.
