Diabetes beliefs, perceived risk and health behaviours: an embedded mixed-methods analysis from the Richmond Stress and Sugar Study

Awareness campaigns may benefit from incorporating family health history information. Diabetes prevention programmes should address barriers beyond health beliefs to promote engagement in behaviour change.
