Fifth, further work is needed to explore the longer term implications of such interventions as well as the impact on health care utilization.
Resources used in, and saved as a result of, medical and public health programs must be measured in terms of their monetary costs to understand the overall implications of such interventions.
For example, Shah et al. [ 20] present a rigorous and systematic approach to evaluating family planning franchises, but their framework does not address the wider implications of such interventions, including how franchised services affect the quality or price of similar services on offer from non-franchised providers.
Education, supported by resources such as the 'Australian Adolescent Health GP Resource Kit' is likely to be a central component of such interventions [ 54], however the implications of using this resource in a different culture cannot be ignored.
Outcomes of this study will have implications for policy and planning by providing evidence for the effectiveness of such interventions as well as provide a model for working with Indigenous communities.
Our findings, and overall experience with the study, have implications for the introduction of safety interventions, like the SSC, and for further research on the effectiveness of such interventions.
Our observations in vitro using OA chondrocytes have strong implications for our understanding of the mechanisms underlying OA chondrocyte death; however, the effectiveness of such intervention using p38 MAPK inhibitors awaits verification using animal models in vivo.
The objective of focusing on only the provider perspective was to allow for an understanding of the cost implications of such an intervention in terms of any additional burden to a national health care budget.
The aim of these randomised controlled trials (RCTs) was to assess whether 1) incentives, 2) type of reminder and/or 3) reduced response burden improve response rates; and to assess the cost implications of such additional effective interventions.
To assess whether 1) an incentive, 2) type of reminder and/or 3) reduced response burden improve response rates; and to assess the cost implications of such additional effective interventions.
As our model accounts for food consumption, it can be used to examine the implications of such a dietary intervention.
