Table 7:

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 Mean difference (95% CI)
Intervention buildings mean ± SD Control buildings mean ± SD
BMI 0.3 ± 2.7 0.2 ± 4.7 0.1 (−0.8 to 1.0)
Waist circumference, cm 2.3 ± 13.7 −0.4 ± 14.4 −2.7 (−1.6 to 7.0)
QALY 0.22 ± 0.36 0.06 ± 0.30 0.16 (0.06 to 0.26)
State of health 6.8 ± 21.9 4.3 ± 35.1 2.4 (−6.0 to 10.9)

Note: BMI = body mass index, CI = confidence interval, CP@clinic = Community Paramedicine at Clinic, QALY = quality-adjusted life year, SD = standard deviation.

*

For 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.

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
