Abstract
An assessment of what is known about comparing multi-component chronic disease programs to disease-specific programs. The rapid synthesis was conducted to address a question posed by a health system policymaker or stakeholder to the McMaster Health Forum’s Rapid Response program.
Description
The provincial Chronic Disease Prevention and Management Strategy from 2008-12 (and then renewed until 2016) began with a focus on diabetes. The strategy had a stated intention to expand beyond diabetes to a broader chronic-disease management approach. This 30-day rapid synthesis summarized the research to review evidence that compares the effectiveness of general chronic-disease programs to disease-specific programs.
