Items on Perception of Feasibility

From my clinical perspective, the Diabetes Risk Test:

1. Is readily accepted by patients for completion

2. Helps patients easily understand if they are at risk for diabetes

3. Does not take long for patients to complete

4. Initiates more patient-to-provider conversation regarding diabetes

5. Complements my approach to discussing risk for diabetes with patients

6. Improves my approach to discussing risk for diabetes with patients

7. Increases patient desire to participate in the diabetes screening service at the retail clinic

8. Contributes to the number of repeat visits to the retail clinic

9. Saves time in tailoring the discussion with patients with identified risk factors

10. Improves the quality of the diabetes screening service offered at the retail clinic

11. Increases patient satisfaction with care provided
