Summary

This is an academic evaluation of a program being implemented by the Ambuja Cement Foundation (ACF). The aim of the evaluation is to determine the effect of the ACF noncommunicable disease (NCD) program on (1) fasting blood glucose (a biomarker of diabetes), (2) systolic blood pressure, (3) diastolic blood pressure, and (4) body weight.

ACF will be implementing a program on NCD management. Due to resource constraints, the program will be implemented stepwise (e.g. four villages in the first 6 months then an additional four villages added every 6 months over the next 12 months). In order to improve the interpretation of the evaluation data, the team will randomize the order in which the program is implemented in the 12 villages. The design is therefore a stepped wedge randomized cluster trial. This design is ideal for (1) minimizing the practical, logistical, and financial constraints associated with large-scale project implementation, (2) control for the effect of time, and (3) ensure that all villages in the project are eventually offered the intervention.
