Research Output
An evaluation of mainstream type 2 diabetes educational programmes in relation to the needs of people with intellectual disabilities: A systematic review of the literature
  Background
Risk reduction and self鈥恗anagement programs for type 2 diabetes (T2D) are commonplace. However, little is known about their appropriateness for people with intellectual disabilities (ID). This review evaluates successful components and theoretical basis of interventions and preventions in relation to the needs of people with ID with or at risk of T2D.
Method
Characteristics of 23 randomised controlled trialled T2D educational programs were systematically assessed alongside the needs of people with ID, and evaluated in terms of study design and theoretical application.
Results
Successful components of programs align to the needs of people with ID. Further adaptations are required to ensure accessibility of materials and social support to enable reflection on illness perceptions and self鈥恊fficacy, as underpinned by Self鈥恟egulation and Social鈥恈ognitive theories.
Conclusions
Support is provided for further trials of self鈥恗anagement and preventative adaptations under development. Impact may be enhanced through preventions aimed at younger groups in educational settings
