About this study

Official title: Developing and Implementing a Community-based Intervention to Create a More Supportive Social and Physical Environment for Lifestyle Changes to Prevent Diabetes in Vulnerable Families Across Europe.

The aim of the Feel4Diabetes-study is to develop, implement and evaluate a community-based intervention aiming to create a more supportive social and physical environment to promote lifestyle and behaviour change to prevent type 2 diabetes among families from low and middle income countries and from vulnerable groups in high income countries in Europe.

Read the detailed description

The aim of the Feel4Diabetes-study is to develop, implement and evaluate a community-based intervention aiming to create a more supportive social and physical environment to promote lifestyle and behaviour change to prevent type 2 diabetes among families from low and middle income countries and from vulnerable groups in high income countries in Europe.

The Feel4Diabetes-intervention will be developed according to the results of systematic literature reviews, narrative reviews and surveys regarding existing research programs, legislation and policies as well as infrastructures, facilities and human resources, which will be conducted during the first phase of the project. It will be implemented in six Eurepean countries, namely Belgium, Bulgaria, Finland, Greece, Hungary and Spain. The process, impact, outcome, cost-effectiveness and scalability of the Feel4Diabetes-intervention will be evaluated and the results of the study will be disseminated via various communication channels.
