Intervention(s)
The proposed study adopts a qualitative mixed-methods approach designed to explore the two key research questions, namely, to understand why women with diabetes of childbearing age do/do not access pre-conception care, and to elicit the views of staff and stakeholders on this and on future provision of this service. A better understanding of the views of women, and of the relevant staff and stakeholders, is needed in order to inform service design and delivery. The use of qualitative methods is best placed to explore views on the provision of, and the facilitators and barriers to, the uptake of pre-conception care. A qualitative mixed-methods design will be used to ensure that the views of service users are at the centre of the research. This design will also allow meaningful and nuanced data to emerge that reflects the views of services users, staff and stakeholders and can be used to understand how pre-conception care could be provided to optimise uptake and outcomes.
Primary Outcome(s)
1. To understand why women with diabetes of childbearing age do, or do not, access pre-conception care, with a view to informing services
2. To investigate the views of staff and stakeholders to explore existing and future provision of pre-conception care
