"Assessing the Impact of a Nationwide Diabetes Prevention Programme: A Quasi-Experimental Evaluation"
A quasi-experimental evaluation of the English National Health Service (NHS) Diabetes Prevention Programme (DPP) found that the program was associated with a reduction in the incidence of type 2 diabetes in England. The study analyzed data from over 1.7 million individuals and compared the incidence of diabetes between those who participated in the DPP and a control group. The results showed that the DPP was associated with a 26% reduction in the incidence of diabetes over a three-year period. The findings highlight the effectiveness of lifestyle interventions in primary care settings for preventing type 2 diabetes.
