National growth and sustainability of the chronic disease self-management program (CDSMP): An incremental examination of delivery characteristics
Objectives. The current study: (1) identifies personal characteristics of the first 100,000 adults who attended CDSMP workshops; and (2) compares personal and delivery site characteristics associated with CDSMP enrollment in terms of the first, second, third, and fourth group of 25,000 participants reached.
Methods. Data were analyzed from 100,000 adults collected during a two-year national dissemination of CDSMP. Multinomial logistic regression was utilized to compare personal and delivery site characteristics associated with CDSMP workshop enrollment by increments of 25,000 participants.
Results. Among the 100,000 CDSMP participants, 63% were aged 65+, 78% were female, 44% were non-white, and 37% reported 3+ chronic conditions. Most participants attended workshops through the aging services network (29%), healthcare organizations (21%), and residential facilities (18%). The first group of 25,000 participants was reached over 9.4 months, whereas the fourth group of 25,000 participants was reached over 5.3 months. Compared to the first 25,000 participants reached, subsequent groups were significantly more likely to be Hispanic, report more chronic conditions, and reside in areas with more families living in poverty.
Conclusion: This national translational study illustrates the rapid expansion of CDSMP and capability to reach diverse populations in a variety of workshop settings.
