With the completion of the Diabetes Prevention Program, there has been a proliferation of studies attempting to translate this evidence base into practice. However, the cost, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness of these adapted interventions is unknown.

Objective

Methods

English and full-text research articles published up to July 2015 were identified using the Cochrane Library, PubMed
