Designing an implementation strategy to improve referral from general practice to a National Diabetes Prevention Programme using a Delphi survey with healthcare professionals and the Behaviour Change Wheel
This study systematically prioritises factors perceived to influence referral and identifies BCTs to improve referral to an NDPP. The BCTs are a starting point for a strategy to improve referral to DPPs. Further consultation with stakeholders is recommended to discuss the acceptability, feasibility and operationalisation of the BCTs in the Irish setting.
