Health indicator | Change in participants from pre- to postintervention†‡ | Control buildings, mean ± SD | |
---|---|---|---|
Mean difference (95% CI) | Intervention buildings, mean ± SD | ||
BMI | 0.69 ± 3.6 | 0.18 ± 4.7 | 0.5 (−0.4 to 1.4) |
Waist circumference, cm | 4.6 ± 24.4 | −0.4 ± 14.4 | 4.4 (−1.1 to 10.0) |
QALY | 0.15 ± 0.37 | 0.06 ± 0.30 | 0.09 (0.01 to 0.17) |
State of health¶ | 3.9 ± 26.4 | 4.3 ± 35.1 | −0.4 (−8.4 to 7.6) |
Note: BMI = body mass index, CI = confidence interval, CP@clinic = Community Paramedicine at Clinic, QALY = quality-adjusted life year, SD = standard deviation.
For the those participants who completed the Health Awareness and Behaviour Tool survey.
Preintervention is defined as the baseline measure immediately before implementing CP@clinic, and postintervention is defined as 12 months after the start of CP@clinic in the intervention buildings.
Adjusted for pairing and clustering, with imputation.
Visual analogue scale of 0–100 in EQ-5D (0 = the worst imaginable state of health and 100 = best imaginable state of health).24
