Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Current primary outcome measures as of 01/09/2015: 1. 10 year CVD risk scores 2. Changes in cardiovascular risk factors, including HBA1c, waist circumference, HDL cholesterol, BMI, blood pressure, total/HDL cholesterol ratio and smoking reduction and abstinence 3. Changes in exercise and diet 4. Changes in alcohol use 5. Adherence to the intervention, including attendance at services and appointments 6. Proportions accepting and continuing CVD risk reducing medications and interventions (e.g. statins, nicotine replacement therapy, bupropion) 7. Satisfaction with primary care services 8. All hospital admissions and health service use during the trial period. 9. Quality of life 10. Incremental costs of the intervention, from the perspective of the NHS and PSS 11. Cost-effectiveness of the intervention, measured in terms of the primary and secondary outcome measures, plus quality-adjusted life years (QALYs), estimated at one year and lifetime. 12.
