However, neither of these studies examined whether their respective interventions were effective when targeted toward low-SES patients.
Falls are an important public health problem for community dwelling older people and falls prevention programmes are effective when targeted appropriately.
STD control programs are most efficient, i.e., more cost effective, when targeted at high-risk individuals.
To test whether ChIP-PED can still be effective when only a minority of the target genes are shared, we used ChIP-PED to analyze Stat3 target genes constructed from mouse CD4+ T cells and Th17 cells, which are both contexts in which Stat3 plays an important regulatory role (Durant et al., 2010; Kwon et al., 2009).
For the extent to which issues are under individual physicians' control, incentives may be most effective when targeted at individuals [ 37, 86, 97].
Herbal adaptogens and some of the mind-body therapies can be most effective when targeted to a particular adrenal stage.
11 12 This suggests that interventions might be more effective when targeted at promoting particular forms of physical activity.
Housing improvements may be particularly effective when targeted at geographically clustered malaria high-risk populations, such as migrant workers, residing in receptive areas.
The impressive efficacy of ustekinumab (effective in 70% of patients at 12 weeks), which inhibits IL12/23, shows the enormous potential for targeting genetic loci discovered as part of GWASs and also indicates that loci that may seem to account for only a small amount of the total genetic variation of a condition can still be enormously effective when targeted as a treatment.
Conclusions A group based peer support intervention is feasible in general practice settings, but the intervention was not effective when targeted at all patients with type 2 diabetes.
