Involving people with type 2 diabetes in facilitating participation in a cardiovascular screening programme.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Knowledge is lacking about how to increase uptake among people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) invited to preventive initiatives like cardiovascular screening.

Aim

To explore how to improve participation of people with T2D in cardiovascular screening using patient and public involvement (PPI).

Methods

Patient and public involvement was included in a qualitative research design. From April to October 2019, we invited 40- to 60-year-old people with T2D (n = 17) to individual consultative meetings, using an interviewing approach. Before the interviews, participants were asked to read a proposed invitation letter to be used in a cardiovascular screening programme. Inductive content analysis was undertaken.

Results

Participants considered cardiovascular screen
