Comparison of community health worker-led diabetes medication decision-making support for low-income Latino and African American adults with diabetes using e-health tools versus print materials: a randomized, controlled trial.
This study compared outcomes between community health worker (CHW) use of a tailored, interactive, Web-based, tablet computer-delivered tool specifically developed for the study and use of printed educational materials. In a population of low-income Latino and African American adults with diabetes and relatively low levels of formal education, participants in both CHW-led interventions reported mostly similar improvements in outcomes over 3 months.

Assessing the economic impact of paternal involvement: a comparison of the generalized linear model versus decision analysis trees.
The authors illustrated a methodological comparison of decision analysis modeling and generalized linear modeling (GLM) techniques using a case study that assesses the cost-effectiveness of potential father involvement interventions. They found that lack of paternal involvement was associated with higher rates of preterm birth, small-for-gestational age, and infant morbidity and mortality, concluding that healthcare costs could be significantly reduced through enhanced father involvement during pregnancy.
