Abstract: Background. Several trials have shown the potential of lifestyle intervention programmes for prevention of type 2 diabetes. The effectiveness of implementation of these programmes into daily practice is now being studied in several countries. The ‘Active Prevention in High Risk individuals of Diabetes Type 2 in Eindhoven’ (APHRODITE) study investigates whether type 2 diabetes prevention by lifestyle intervention is effective in Dutch primary care. In this article we describe the process of recruiting the study participants. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
