Innovation in health care services generates the development of new initiatives. Research should focus on the development of methodologies that allow the evaluation of interventions and determine the true impact they have. The purpose of this study was to determine the social return of investment (SROI) of a health treatment. An analysis of a psychological intervention program was carried out with a design that included pre/post-treatment measures and control group. As results, a positive social impact was obtained. Each monetary unit spent offered a net social return of 2.98. In conclusion, SROI can offer information about the social impact caused by health care interventions, determining the tangible return obtained with the investment.

Palabras clave : Evidence-based treatments; Impact measuremen; Social return on investment (SROI); Health care costs.
