OBJECTIVE To examine the cost-effectiveness of a hepatitis B vaccination program for unvaccinated adults with diagnosed diabetes in U.S. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We used simulation model to estimate vaccinating 20-59 years age not previously vaccinated or infected by virus (HBV). The estimated acute and chronic HBV infections, complications, quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs), incremental ratios. Data sources included surveillance data, epidemiological studies, vaccine prices. RESULTS...
In 2010, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention funded 50 communities to participate in Communities Putting Work (CPPW) program. CPPW supported community-based approaches prevent or delay chronic disease promote wellness by reducing tobacco use obesity. We collected direct costs of 44 through American Recovery Reinvestment Act (ARRA) analyzed per person reached all interventions intervention category.From 2011 2013, we quarterly data on from ARRA-funded communities. estimated program...
In 2010, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) launched Communities Putting to Work (CPPW), a $485 million program reduce obesity, tobacco use, exposure secondhand smoke. CPPW awardees implemented evidence-based policy, systems, environmental changes sustain reductions in chronic disease risk factors. This article describes short-term potential long-term benefits of investment.We used mixed-methods approach estimate population reach simulate effects completed interventions...
To analyze the cost-effectiveness of national Perinatal Hepatitis B Prevention Program (PHBPP) over lifetime 2009 US birth cohort and compare costs outcomes program to a scenario without PHBPP support. PHBPP's goals are ensure all infants born hepatitis (HepB) surface antigen-positive women receive timely postexposure prophylaxis, complete HepB vaccine series, obtain serologic testing after series completion.A decision analytic tree long-term Markov model represented risk perinatal childhood...
Public health focuses on a range of evidence-based approaches for addressing chronic conditions, from individual-level clinical interventions to broader changes in policies and environments that protect people's make healthy living easier. This study examined the potential long-term impact community as they were implemented by Community Transformation Grant (CTG) program awardees.We used Prevention Impacts Simulation Model, system dynamics model cardiovascular disease prevention, simulate...
Preventing Chronic Disease (PCD) is a peer-reviewed electronic journal established by the National Center for Prevention and Health Promotion. PCD provides an open exchange of information knowledge among researchers, practitioners, policy makers, others who strive to improve health public through chronic disease prevention.
What is already known on this topic?Previous studies examined the costs and cost-effectiveness of stroke care quality improvement (QI) interventions at clinical level, but nothing about QI initiatives that span system care.What added by report?The Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Program (PCNASP) a initiative spans full care.This study implementing PCNASP initiatives.What are implications for public health practice?Findings can guide future program planning, QI, efforts to achieve sustainability.
To examine the cost-effectiveness of pre- and postexposure approaches for ensuring hepatitis B protection among previously vaccinated healthcare personnel (HCP).A decision-analytic model was developed alternative strategies under assumptions 68% 95% long-term after a primary vaccination series. Costs quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) lost from infections were estimated, incremental ratios (ICERs) calculated relative to no intervention over 10 intervention. Separate analyses performed...
Abstract Objectives The primary objective of this study was to elicit the perspectives direct care providers on barriers and facilitators communicating injury prevention messages parents/caregivers children under 4 years age. secondary examine characteristics an messaging strategy preferred by providers. Design Sample This qualitative conducted across four regions in Ontario Canada. Fifty‐nine were purposefully sampled data interpreted using focus group analysis. Measures Transcripts...
Objective: During 2012-2015, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Program (PCNASP) funded state health departments to improve quality of stroke care in key clinical settings. The objective this study was assess costs partners implementing PCNASP newly established programs. Methods: We developed Excel-based data collection instruments collect associated with systems from volunteer PCNASP-funded departments. Nine were eligible based on...
