Evidence related to the outcomes of diabetes prevention programs is important for convincing health care payers and other funders to invest in prevention for people at risk for diabetes and other chronic conditions.
However, it is often difficult for these nonacademic audiences to synthesize the extensive number of prevention program studies that report health outcomes and cost results. NYHealth and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) partnered to co-fund the production of a synthesis report of health outcomes, implementation costs, and overall cost implications of existing diabetes prevention programs, especially when compared to medication management programs. The University of Chicago was awarded a grant to undertake this analysis and produce a report.
