Barriers to, and enablers of, medication taking among Chinese adults living with type 2 diabetes mellitus in Australia: a qualitative study
Drawing on the TDF, potential targets for future interventions aimed at improving the uptake and maintenance of medication-taking behavior among adults with T2DM of Chinese heritage were identified. These data may support the development of culturally relevant and theoretically informed healthcare professional strategies and diabetes education programs, and ultimately, improve health outcomes for individuals with T2DM.
