Comparison of Experimental Estimates to Prior Studies

Each panel shows the distribution of N point estimates from prior workplace wellness studies. Panel A plots intent-to-treat (ITT) and treatment-on-the-treated (TOT) estimates for medical spending. Panel B plots corresponding estimates for absenteeism. The point estimates from our own study (RCT Estimate), and their associated confidence intervals, are taken from Online Appendix Table A.11, column (3) for medical spending and Table III, column (3) and Table IV, column (2) for absenteeism. Our randomized controled trial (RCT) estimates and confidence intervals are plotted to demonstrate the share of prior study point estimates we can rule out. Online Appendix Table B.1 provides the full details of this meta-analysis.
