As you plan the implementation of your evidence-based education program, keep in mind the end goal of creating a sustainable delivery system to reach your target number of participants and how the delivery infrastructure can be built to efficiently engage participants and partners. Take the following into consideration the cost per participant as well as a 2015 national study of Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) estimated program costs to be approximately $350 per participant. Costs have risen across the board as the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic impact continues. Use the program estimated cost tool to estimate the cost per participant for your state or region. https://www.ncoa.org/article/chronic-disease-self-management-program-cost-calculator
