Improving the Recruitment and Retention in the Intensive Diabetes Prevention Program at Hong Kong in District Health Centers (IDPP-DHC)
Optimizing Implementation of the Intensive Diabetes Prevention Program in District Health Centres: A Hybrid Type 3 Study to Enhance Recruitment and Retention for Prediabetes Management
The IDPP provides lifestyle support for people with prediabetes at DHCs in Hong Kong . However, low recruitment and retention limit its impact. This study aims to improve recruitment and retention by examining the benefits of enhanced participant engagement, staff training, and structured reminders and follow-up compared with usual program delivery.

Descrição detalhada
Objectives: The IDPP provides lifestyle support for people with prediabetes at DHCs in Hong Kong. However, low recruitment and retention limit its impact. This study aims to examine whether optimized implementation strategies improve recruitment and retention while maintaining or improving participants' health outcomes.
Hypotheses to be tested: Compared with usual program delivery. optimized implementation strategies will improve recruitment. retention, and other outcomes while maintaining the clinical outcomes.
Design and subjects: This is a implementation study using a two arms cluster randomized controlled trial. The study will recruit 170 adults aged 18 or above with prediabetes.
Instruments: Program records and structured checklists will assess participation and delivery of the implementation strategies. The Chinese Patient Perceptions of Empowerment Scale and the Chinese 12-item Short Form Health Survey version 2 will assess empowerment and quality of life. Interviews will explore participants' and staff members' experiences.
Intervention: The intervention group will receive the one-year IDPP with enhanced nurse consultations, staff training, appointment reminders, and follow-up after missed appointments. Nurse consultation will include personal goal-setting and shared decisions about lifestyle changes. The control group will receive the usual local IDPP services.
Main outcomes: The primary outcomes are recruitment and retention rates. Other implementation outcomes include acceptability, adoption and sustainability. Secondary health outcomes include blood sugar control, BMI, quality of life and empowerment.
Data analysis: Generalized estimating equations will examine changes in clinical outcomes over time and differences between groups. Recruitment and retention rates will be compared between groups. Interview will undergo thematic analysis.
Expected results: The optimized strategies are expected to help more people join and remain in the IDPP while maintaining or improving health outcomes. The findings will inform the delivery and long-term use of diabetes prevention services in community settings.

Experimental: IDPP With Optimized Implementation Strategies
Participant will receive the one year IDPP with enhanced nurse consultations and follow-up. |
The implementation includes an enhanced nurse consultations. Nurses will help participants understand prediabetes, set personal goals and review lifestyle changes. DHC staff will send reminders three days before scheduled consultations. Provider training and ongoing feedback will support program delivery. |
|
Comparador Ativo: Usual IDPP
Participants will receive the one year IDPP according to existing DHC services. |
The usual IDPP offers four voluntary group education sessions delivered by DHC staffs. There is also a nurse consultation at the DHC. |

Recruitment and Retention rates
Prazo: 12 - month
|
Feasibility (Primary outcome: Recruitment and Retention rates) Recruitment will be calculated as the proportion of eligible patients who agree to participate in the IDPP out of the total eligible population that reached the DHCs. Retention rate will be defined as the proportion of participants who complete both nurse consultation sessions and at least two of the four group-based educational sessions over a one-year period. |

HbA1c
Prazo: Baseline, 6-month, 12-month, 18-month
|
Mean change in HbA1c level will be measured from blood samples drawn by DHC nurses and analyzed to reflect average blood glucose levels over the previous 2-3months. |

Perceptions of empowerment will be measured using the Chinese version of the Patient Perceptions of Empowerment Scale (PPES) , an 11-item validated tool with a content validity index of 0.93. The PPES evaluates empowerment across four domains: information (three items), decision-making (two items), individualized autonomy (three items), and staff-management (three items). This tool has proven reliable for assessing empowerment in clinical and research settings. |
