The Sоuth Africаn Nаtiоnаl Department оf Health is exploring effective and cost-efficient ways to manage the rising burden of Type 2 Diabetes. As part of the Health Technology Assessment (HTA) process, they are considering two interventions from two separate articles provided: i. The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) (focusing on lifestyle changes and metformin) andii. The Cost-Minimisation Analysis of Metformin vs. Acarbose.You are tasked with using the PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparator, Outcome) approach to assist the Ministry in deciding which intervention to prioritise. Evaluate both studies in the context of the South African healthcare system, focusing on the potential implementation of these interventions.Instructions:· Apply the PICO approach to each study and respond to the questions below.· Use the articles provided (Cost-Effectiveness of Diabetes Prevention by Herman et al.(CEA DIABETES) and Cost-Minimisation of Metformin and Acarbose (COST MINI DIABETES)) as the basis for your evaluation.PICO Framework:1. P (Population) – Who are the target patients or population groups?2. I (Intervention) – What is the intervention being considered?3. C (Comparator) – What is the standard treatment or comparator?4. O (Outcome) – What are the expected outcomes (both clinical and economic)?1. Define the PICO elements for each of the two studies (10 marks):For each of the two studies, define the following:Population (2 marks)Intervention (2 marks)Comparator (2 marks)Outcome (4 marks)2. Using the PICO analysis, recommend which intervention would be more effective and suitable for implementation in South Africa based on the following (10 marks):Cost-effectiveness (4 marks): Which intervention offers better value for money based on the studies?Impact on patient outcomes (3 marks): Which intervention shows the greatest potential for improving patient quality of life and reducing the burden of diabetes?Feasibility of implementation (3 marks): Which intervention is more feasible given the healthcare infrastructure and resource constraints in South Africa?
