Table 5:

Comparison of changes in health indicators among participants who attended CP@clinic and participants in control buildings*

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
