Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Comparative Study
Promoting colorectal cancer screening discussion: a randomized controlled trial.
Provider recommendation is a predictor of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. ⋯ The computer-delivered tailored intervention was more effective than a nontailored brochure at stimulating patient-provider discussions about CRC screening. Those who received the computer-delivered intervention also were more likely to have a CRC screening test (fecal occult blood test or colonoscopy) ordered by their PCP.

The Healthy Living Partnerships to Prevent Diabetes study: 2-year outcomes of a randomized controlled trial.
Since the Diabetes Prevention Project (DPP) demonstrated that lifestyle weight-loss interventions can reduce the incidence of diabetes by 58%, several studies have translated the DPP methods to public health-friendly contexts. Although these studies have demonstrated short-term effects, no study to date has examined the impact of a translated DPP intervention on blood glucose and adiposity beyond 12 months of follow-up. ⋯ A diabetes prevention program administered through an existing community-based system and delivered by community health workers is effective at inducing significant long-term reductions in metabolic indicators and adiposity.

Cost of a group translation of the Diabetes Prevention Program: Healthy Living Partnerships to Prevent Diabetes.
Although numerous studies have translated the Diabetes Prevention Program lifestyle intervention into various settings, no study to date has reported a formal cost analysis. ⋯ A community-based translation of the DPP can be delivered effectively and with reduced costs.
