Costs of Preparing to Implement a Family-Based Intervention to Prevent Pediatric Obesity in Primary Care: a Budget Impact Analysis.
Article in Prevention science : the official journal of the Society for Prevention Research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The costs associated with implementing evidence-based programs for pediatric obesity contribute to a lack of widespread adoption. This study examined the costs of preparing to implement the Family Check-Up 4 Health (FCU4Health), a family-centered behavioral program for the prevention of pediatric obesity and excess weight gain in primary care. Budget impact analysis was used to estimate the cost of preparing to implement FCU4Health (i.e., the activities to prepare for, but prior to, offering the service to families). Electronic cost capture methods were used to prospectively track personnel time associated with implementation preparation activities. We also estimated the cost of replicating these preparatory activities to inform future decisions to adopt the program and associated budgetary planning. The total cost of FCU4Health implementation preparation in three clinics and developing delivery materials and infrastructure was $181,768, for an average of $60,589 per clinic. Over two thirds of the total cost were personnel related, the largest of which was associated with the time spent developing automated fidelity coding for monitoring (20%), developing and tailoring clinical materials (16%), and training FCU4Health coordinators (15%). Due to these development costs associated with an initial implementation, that we anticipate would not be repeated in full, we estimated the cost to prepare FCU4Health for implementation in a future initiative will range from $15,195 to $17,912 per clinic. This study is a critical step towards equipping decision-makers with comprehensive short-term information about expected costs that are incurred immediately after choosing to adopt an evidence-based program.
