A systematic review of recruitment strategies and behaviour change techniques in group-based diabetes prevention programmes focusing on uptake and retention

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) prevention is a worldwide health care priority (1), with levels of prediabetes predicted to rise from 374 million in 2019 to 548 million by 2045 (1). This is increasingly important as levels of obesity and physical inactivity being major contributory factors towards the global diabetes burden, are escalating (1,2). Although T2DM directly leads to approximately 1.3 million deaths annually (worldwide), it is a major risk factor for other causes of death and conditions such as cardiovascular disease, kidney diseases and blindness (3).
