Barriers and Facilitators to Accessing Preventive Services for Chronic Diseases Among People From Bangladeshi and Nepalese Backgrounds Living in Sydney

Study participants contributed to research by sharing their lived experiences of accessing preventive services for chronic diseases. The shared linguistic and cultural backgrounds between the researchers and participants helped rapport-building and supported in-depth exploration of the complex factors influencing access to preventive care. Participants provided valuable insights through participating in IDIs or FGDs, which formed the basis of the study findings. However, participants were not directly involved in the study design or conduct of the study, data analysis or interpretation or manuscript preparation.
