abstract: 'Background: As many challenges exist for access to diabetes care in
|
|
|
|
developing countries, the International Insulin Foundation developed a
|
|
|
|
Rapid Assessment tool and implemented this approach to identify barriers
|
|
|
|
to care and propose concrete recommendations for decision makers. The
|
|
|
|
objective of this paper is to identify the factors that contributed to
|
|
|
|
informing and influencing policymakers with regards to this work.
|
|
|
|
Methods: A documentary review comprised Stage 1. Stage 2 used an online
|
|
|
|
questionnaire to gain insight from users of the Rapid Assessment
|
|
|
|
results. Based on Stages 1 and 2, Stage 3 comprised in-depth interviews
|
|
|
|
with a total of nine individuals (one individual each from the six
|
|
|
|
participating countries; two individuals from the World Health
|
|
|
|
Organization; one ``Global Diabetes Advocate{''''}). Interviews were
|
|
|
|
analyzed based on a list of themes developed from Stage 2.
|
|
|
|
Results: Stage 1 led to the identification of various types of documents
|
|
|
|
referring to the results. The online questionnaire had a response rate
|
|
|
|
of 33\%. Respondents directly involved in the assessment had a
|
|
|
|
``Good{''''} or ``Very Good{''''} appreciation of most aspects and scored
|
|
|
|
these higher than those not directly involved. From the interviews,
|
|
|
|
formalized methods and close collaboration between the international
|
|
|
|
team and local partners were strengths. Trust and a relationship with
|
|
|
|
local partners were also seen as assets. All stakeholders valued the
|
|
|
|
results and the credibility of the data generated. Local partners felt
|
|
|
|
that more could have been done for dissemination.
|
|
|
|
Conclusion: This study shows the importance of specific results from the
|
|
|
|
different assessments. In addressing complex issues having external
|
|
|
|
experts involved was seen as an advantage. The uptake of results was due
|
|
|
|
to the credibility of the research which was influenced by a mix of the
|
|
|
|
people involved, past assessments, trusted local partners, and the use
|
|
|
|
of the results by knowledge brokers, such as the World Health
|
|
|
|
Organization. Through these brokers, others gained ownership of the
|
|
|
|
data. The methods used and the fact that this data was grounded in a
|
|
|
|
local context also reinforced its value. Despite limitations, this study
|
|
|
|
offers a unique perspective where a similar research approach was taken
|
|
|
|
in six countries.'
