Description of the nationally implemented National Health Service digital diabetes prevention programme and rationale for its development: mixed methods study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The National Health Service (NHS) Digital Diabetes Prevention Programme (DDPP) is a behaviour change programme for adults in England who are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Four independent providers deliver the NHS-DDPP following a competitive tendering process. Although providers work to a single service specification, there is potential for some variation in the service across providers. This study (1) assesses fidelity of the structural features of the design of the NHS-DDPP compared to the service specification, (2) describes the structural features of delivery of the NHS-DDPP as implemented (3) reports developers' views on how the structural components of the NHS-DDPP were developed and why changes were made following implementation.
