为了解决美国2型糖尿病发病率不断上升的问题，联合健康集团、美国基督教青年会和疾病控制和预防中心合作，将糖尿病预防计划生活方式干预的群体适应带到全国范围。西北大学和印第安纳州大学的研究人员正在与这些合作伙伴合作，设计一个强大的评估范围，有效性和成本的自然实验。我们将采用准实验性、随机分组研究设计，并将现有来源的行政、临床和项目数据联合收割机结合起来，以得出可靠、及时和与政策相关的项目影响和可持续性潜力估计。在这种情况下，评价结果将提供关于卫生保健-社区伙伴关系在预防2型糖尿病方面的独特作用的信息。
To address the growing incidence of type 2 diabetes in the United States, UnitedHealth Group, the YMCA of the USA, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have partnered to bring a group-based adaptation of the Diabetes Prevention Program lifestyle intervention to a national scale. Researchers at Northwestern and Indiana universities are collaborating with these partners to design a robust evaluation of the reach, effectiveness, and costs of this natural experiment. We will employ a quasi-experimental, cluster-randomized study design and combine administrative, clinical, and programmatic data from existing sources to derive reliable, timely, and policy-relevant estimates of the program's impact and potential for sustainability. In this context, evaluation results will provide information about the unique role of a health care-community partnership to prevent type 2 diabetes.
