Abstract: The HealthPartners Institute ModelHealthTM:Tobacco MN was developed to evaluate the health impact and cost-effectiveness of observed reductions in the prevalence of cigarette smoking in Minnesota and to estimate the impact of Minnesota tobacco control policy. ModelHealth: Tobacco MN was constructed by modifying the original US version, ModelHealth: Tobacco.1,2 ModelHealth:Tobacco MN estimates behavioral, health, and medical utilization and productivity impact of tobacco control programs and policy. The model employs a flexible microsimulation framework in which individuals, rather than population groups, are simulated over time. Individual behaviors and outcomes are simulated and recorded each year, and the experiences of simulated individuals are aggregated up to the community level to estimate population health and economic impact. The model starts with a simulated population that is representative of the Minnesota population with respect to age, sex, race-ethnicity and educational status. Over time, youth who are representative of the sex and race-ethnicity distribution of recent birth cohorts age into the model. This document provides an overview of the base model’s structure, the development of the inputs to the base model, and discussion of the modeling framework and embedded algorithms. Inputs specific to clinical interventions, policies and programs (counseling, tobacco taxes, media campaigns etc.) are discussed in manuscripts or other reports specific to their analysis.
