Comparison of changes in health indicators among participants who attended CP@clinic and participants in control buildings*
| Health indicator | Change in participants from pre- to postintervention†‡ | Mean difference (95% CI) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intervention buildings mean ± SD | Control buildings mean ± SD | ||
| BMI | 0.3 ± 2.7 | 0.2 ± 4.7 | 0.1 (−0.8 to 1.0) |
| Waist circumference, cm | 2.3 ± 13.7 | −0.4 ± 14.4 | −2.7 (−1.6 to 7.0) |
| QALY | 0.22 ± 0.36 | 0.06 ± 0.30 | 0.16 (0.06 to 0.26) |
| State of health¶ | 6.8 ± 21.9 | 4.3 ± 35.1 | 2.4 (−6.0 to 10.9) |
Note: BMI = body mass index, CI = confidence interval, CP@clinic = Community Paramedicine at Clinic, QALY = quality-adjusted life year, SD = standard deviation.

↵† Preintervention is defined as the baseline measure immediately before implementing CP@clinic, and postintervention is defined as 12 months after the start of CP@clinic in the intervention buildings.
