Testing the Effects of the CDSMP Among Lower-to-Middle Wage Workers
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Chronic Disease
In brief
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.
