Objectives:
Launched in 2011 by the Public Health Agency of Canada, the Canadian Diabetes Risk Questionnaire (CANRISK) is a self-assessment tool validated in a Canadian sample, but its uptake has never been assessed. We sought to determine the level of current use of the CANRISK tool, identify common facilitators and barriers to its use and recommend future improvements.
Methods:
Ten professional allied health organizations across Canada were contacted for in-depth interviews. Contextual content and thematic analysis were used to analyze the qualitative data set.
Results:
According to allied health professionals, the tool is widely used, appealing and needed, and is being used for risk screening and health promotion. Respondents also identified the need to provide support and next steps for users identified as high risk. Still, several barriers to implementation were found, including readability, offensive or confusing language and difficulty ascertaining body measurements.
Conclusions:
The CANRISK is a valuable diabetes risk assessment tool in Canada, particularly for allied health organizations.
