OA07.01. A naturopathic approach to the prevention of cardiovascular disease: a cost effectiveness analysis of a randomized multi-worksite trial
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods This study is an economic evaluation alongside a pragmatic, multi-worksite, randomized trial comparing enhanced usual care (EUC; usual care plus biometric screening) to the addition of a naturopathic approach to CVD prevention (NC+EUC; an individualized package of lifestyle counseling and nutritional medicine). Biometric and self-report outcomes were collected at 0, 6, and 12 months. Cost-effectiveness is determined from the societal and employer perspectives for participants who consented (before randomization) to make available their electronic employer sick leave and medical claims data.
