Prevention of Type 2 Diabetes - background paper (January 2005) [PDF, 242kb]
The Background Paper on Prevention of Type 2 Diabetes was prepared for the National Public Health Partnership as part of its initiatives related to the behavioural determinants associated with chronic disease prevention. The Paper provides a summary of diabetes prevalence and trends; reviews the evidence for the prevention of type 2 diabetes; and explores key research questions to effectively translate evidence into practice in this area. The Paper has formed the basis of the further work to provide an economic analysis of aspects of diabetes prevention programs in the Australian context. The Background Paper does not necessarily represent the position of members of the National Public Health Partnership and is made available in recognition of the increasing interest in chronic disease prevention.
