Translating Evidence for a Mediterranean-Style Dietary Pattern into Routine Care for Coronary Heart Disease and Type 2 Diabetes: Implementation and Evaluation in a Targeted Public Health Service in Australia.

ABSTRACT: Background: A Mediterranean-style dietary pattern (MDP) is embedded across coronary heart disease (CHD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) clinical guidelines. However, MDP evidence has not consistently been translated into practice. This study aimed to develop, integrate and evaluate implementation strategies to support clinicians in translating MDP evidence into routine care for CHD and T2D in the local context of a public health service.
