Diabetes Needs Assessment
Project Background
The Scottish Diabetes Group requested that ScotPHN update the 1999 needs assessment for diabetes due to the increase in prevalence in Type 2 diabetes, the existence of better data on diabetes and the current debate over screening for Type 2 diabetes.
Aim of Project
To update the 1999 needs assessment for diabetes undertaken by the Scottish Needs Assessment Programme (SNAP).
