Description:
The Diabetes Prevention Impact Toolkit predicts the health and economic effects of the National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) or similar programs on a state, employer, or insurer’s population at risk for diabetes. Specifically, the Impact Toolkit allows users to estimate program costs, diabetes-related medical costs, and return on investment (ROI) along with other cost and health outcome measures. This report describes the methods, equations, and data used by the Impact Toolkit to project outcomes.

The Impact Toolkit has three modules: State, Employer, and Insurer. In general, these modules are very similar. The key difference is that, in the Employer and Insurer modules, the user can choose from a set of predefined populations or enter a customized set of population characteristics. In contrast, the State module only offers state populations for estimating the health and economic effects of a National DPP. The differences between the modules are mainly reflected in the Population Characteristics section of the Input Dashboard. Sections 2.1 through 2.3 describe the Population Characteristics inputs for each module separately. All other sections of this technical report apply to all three modules, except for Section 2.5.7 Productivity Costs, which only applies to the Employer module.

The Diabetes Prevention Impact Toolkit and this accompanying Technical Report were developed by RTI International through Contract Number 200-2013-M-53964B, Purchase Order 200-2-14-F-61255 from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
