Impact Bond: Prevention of Late-Stage Complications from Type-2 Diabetes - Denmark
Stage of development: Implementation
Policy sector: Health
Social challenge: Late complications from diabetes are expensive for society and reduce the quality of life for the citizen. Structural barriers make it difficult for the municipality to deliver the efforts that the citizen needs.
Intervention: The intervention is targeting vulnerable citizens with type 2 diabetes throughout Aarhus Municipality, who need help to prevent late-stage complications as a result of their diabetes. The intervention is split into four phases of three months' duration, which provide the citizens with knowledge, skills and relationships that support them in achieving a better quality of life.  To ensure that the citizens maintain the new, healthier habits, there is a follow-up period of two years. The intervention includes both individual and group-based interventions and includes, for example, individual conversations, training, cooking, mentoring, other activities and family-oriented activities.
