DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Abstract Our UCLA team in partnership with United Healthcare (UHC) proposes to form a cooperative agreement with the CDC to evaluate an innovative health system-based insurance product called the Diabetes Health Plan (DHP). This disease specific health plan offers preventive treatments and services with established efficacy at very low or no cost to patients with pre-diabetes and diabetes. The 2010 implementation of the DHP, by one of the largest for-profit insurance companies with employer groups in all 50 states, represents a unique and valuable opportunity for evaluation of a real-world system-level intervention. The overall goal of the research is to implement a rigorous empirical evaluation of the behavioral, economic, and health consequences of the DHP designed to prevent diabetes and/or prevent medium-term complications for persons with diabetes. We plan to conduct one primary effectiveness study (Aim 2) and three ancillary studies (Aims 3a, 3b and 4). Our specific aims are as follows: 1) To develop recruitment materials to increase participation by the most vulnerable patients with pre- diabetes or diabetes, and to track implementation and participation rates with the RE-AIM framework. 2) To determine whether participation in the DHP compared to coverage with the standard health benefit is associated with: a) Lower rates of progression to diabetes, among patients with pre-diabetes; b) Better control of cardiovascular risk factors, among patients with diabetes; c) Better adherence to diabetes- specific preventive services, among patients with diabetes 3) To determine whether participation in the DHP compared to coverage with the standard health benefit is associated with: a) Lower total costs (patient + health plan), among patients with pre-diabetes; b) Lower total costs (patient + health plan), among patients with diabetes 4) To determine whether patients with pre-diabetes who elect to participate in the UHC DPP/YMCA program versus those who elect to take metformin have different rates of progression to diabetes. 5) To fully participate in a multi-center network designed to facilitate collaboration, to examine the impact of multi-regional or national system and community policy changes, and to participate in development of the study wide protocol along with a core set of common metrics and measures, and analytic approaches. The UCLA team will use quasi experimental designs, de-identified data from UHC, and state of the art modeling strategies to adjust for selection effects in order to address these specific aims. In summary, the UCLA team's longstanding research partnership with UHC offers an important opportunity to understand whether the DHP leads to better health outcomes for patients. As evidenced by UCLA's performance in TRIAD, we believe that we are a highly collaborative and diverse group of researchers who, if selected, will also make important contributions to the Multi-Center Network proposed in this FOA.

描述(由申请人提供)：我们的加州大学洛杉矶分校团队与联合医疗(UHC)合作，提议与CDC形成一项合作协议，以评估一种基于创新健康系统的保险产品，称为糖尿病健康计划(DHP)。这项针对疾病的健康计划为糖尿病前期和糖尿病患者提供具有既定疗效的预防性治疗和服务，费用非常低或免费。2010年，由在所有50个州拥有雇主团体的最大营利性保险公司之一实施了DHP，这是评估现实世界系统级干预措施的一个独特而宝贵的机会。这项研究的总体目标是对DHP的行为、经济和健康后果进行严格的实证评估，旨在预防糖尿病和/或预防糖尿病患者的中期并发症。我们计划进行一项初步成效研究(目标2)和三项辅助研究(目标3a、3b和4)。我们的具体目标如下：1)开发招募材料，以增加最脆弱的糖尿病前期或糖尿病患者的参与，并跟踪RE-AIM框架的实施情况和参与率。2)确定与标准健康福利覆盖相比，参加DHP是否与：a)糖尿病前期患者进展为糖尿病的比率较低；b)糖尿病患者对心血管风险因素的更好控制；c)糖尿病患者更好地遵守针对糖尿病的预防服务；3)确定与标准健康福利覆盖相比，参加DHP是否与：a)糖尿病前期患者的总费用(患者+健康计划)较低有关；B)在糖尿病患者中降低总成本(患者+健康计划)4)以确定选择参加UHC DPP/YMCA计划的糖尿病前期患者与选择服用二甲双胍的患者发展为糖尿病的比率是否不同。5)充分参与旨在促进合作的多中心网络，审查多区域或国家系统和社区政策变化的影响，并参与制定研究范围的议定书以及一套核心的共同指标和措施以及分析方法。加州大学洛杉矶分校的团队将使用准实验设计、来自UHC的去识别数据和最新的建模策略来调整选择效果，以解决这些特定的目标。总之，加州大学洛杉矶分校团队与UHC的长期研究伙伴关系为了解DHP是否为患者带来更好的健康结果提供了一个重要机会。正如加州大学洛杉矶分校在三合会中的表现所证明的那样，我们相信我们是一个高度合作和多样化的研究人员群体，如果他们被选中，也将为本FOA提出的多中心网络做出重要贡献。
