Wednesday 29th May, 1-2pm, School of Pschhology, NUI Galway. All welcome!
ABSTRACT
Healthier You: the NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme (NHS DPP) is currently offered to people in England who are at risk of type 2 diabetes. NHS DPP is an ambitious, large-scale programme, offering a nine-month group-based intervention to support behavioural change in diet and exercise, with a view to reducing the risk of diabetes.
DIPLOMA is a large multi-disciplinary research programme based at the University of Manchester and funded by NIHR Health Services and Delivery Research, which is undertaking a comprehensive assessment of the implementation, delivery and outcomes of the NHS DPP.
The seminar will describe the methodological challenges of undertaking an evaluation of such a complex national health programme and present some early insights of the evaluation.
