Evaluation of a pilot outreach program to support point-of-care screening for individuals with diabetes who are experiencing homelessness in Alberta, Canada: results of a mixed methods study

This point-of-care screening model significantly increased screening rates from the pre-period and participants indicated interest in and support for the program. However, innovative approaches to enhance the program are required. Potential adjustments include partnering with more community sites servicing this population and expanding the scope of care offered as well as reaching a broader population.

Abstract

This point-of-care screening model significantly increased screening rates from the pre-period and participants indicated interest in and support for the program. However, innovative approaches to enhance the program are required. Potential adjustments include partnering with more community sites servicing this population and expanding the scope of care offered as well as reaching a broader population.
