Evaluation of the digital diabetes prevention programme pilot: uncontrolled mixed-methods study protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is rising steeply. National Health Service England (NHSE) is exploring the potential of a digital diabetes prevention programme (DDPP) and has commissioned a pilot with embedded evaluation.

Methods and analysis
