  1. Note: Transformed Tobit coefficients with bootstrapped 95 % CIs (aindicating statistically significant coefficients –alpha = 0.05-). Explanatory variables centred to the sample mean. Accordingly, Intercept approximates the cost of a “mean individual” (aged 55.22, with 14.2 years with diagnosis, and a FIQ score of 56.36). For clarity, significant results are in bold
