Figure 1From: Economic evaluation of a weight control program with e-mail and telephone counseling among overweight employees: a randomized controlled trialParticipant flow after randomizationa.a The participant flow up to randomization can be found in Van Wier et al.(2009) [15]. b Costs and Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALYs) are complete when cost data and EQ5D-questionnaire are available at each measurement. Participants were approached at each measurement, unless they had dropped out from the study. Participants showed intermittent non-response (e.g. providing data at baseline, 12 and 24 months but not at 6 and 18 months,) and also partial non-response (e.g. providing complete body weight data, but not complete cost data). The number of participants with complete data therefore cannot be calculated from this participant flow.Back to article page
