Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the proposed research is to extend the CDSMP to lower-wage populations aged 40-64 years by partnering with public libraries and employment support networks in select North Carolina counties. The specific aims of this research are to (1) test the effects of the CDSMP on employment and health outcomes among lower-wage working adults 40-64 years of age at 6 and 12 months from baseline, and explore the extent to which they are modified by select sociodemographic, chronic condition, and work-related factors, (2) conduct an economic evaluation of the CDSMP for employers (return on investment [ROI]), the health care system (ROI), and state governments (cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA)), and (3) assess factors associated with the reach, effectiveness, adoption, and implementation of the CDSMP among lower-wage workers using social marketing strategies designed to overcome program engagement and participation challenges that exist in this population.


Clinical Trial Description

To evaluate the CDSMP's effect on key employment outcomes, an experienced team from the UNC-CH Prevention Research Center (PRC) will leverage its long-standing partnerships with employer networks, public libraries and community agencies throughout the state and the NC Division of Aging's network of 500 active CDSMP interventionists to conduct the proposed work. This research will produce new knowledge about CDSMP effects by (1) testing it in a high chronic disease burden population of employed, lower-wage adults in their preretirement years (ages 40-64), (2) focusing on employment productivity and cost-specific outcomes that would have direct relevance for employers, insurers, and policy-makers, and (3) targeting recruitment and CDSMP delivery to enhance uptake by lower-wage workers. The specific aims of the proposed study are to:

1. Test the effects of the CDSMP on employment and health outcomes among lower-wage working adults 40-64 years of age at 6 and 12 months from baseline, and explore the extent to which they are modified by select sociodemographic, chronic condition, and work-related factors. The primary study outcome is work productivity, measured as lost productivity time using Health and Work Performance Questionnaire (HPQ) absenteeism and presenteeism scores. Secondary study outcomes reflect health dimensions that are typically evaluated in relation to CDSMP delivery, and include measures of: chronic disease management self-efficacy, self management behaviors, health status, and healthcare utilization.

2. Conduct an economic evaluation of the CDSMP for employers (return on investment [ROI]), the health care system (ROI), and state governments (cost-effectiveness analysis [CEA]).

3. Assess factors associated with the reach, effectiveness, adoption, and implementation of the CDSMP among lower-wage workers using social marketing strategies designed to overcome program engagement and participation challenges that exist in this population. ;
