What is Barriers and enablers to diabetic retinopathy screening: a cross-sectional survey of young adults with type 1 and type 2 diabetes in the UK about?
## Introduction Diabetic retinopathy screening (DRS) attendance in young adults (YAs) is consistently below recommended levels. The aim of this study was to identify barriers and enablers of DRS attendance among YAs in the UK living with type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). ## Research design and methods YAs (18–34 years) were invited to complete an anonymous online survey in June 2021 assessing agreement with 30 belief statements informed by the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) of behavior change describing potential barriers/enablers to DRS. ## Results In total, 102 responses were received. Most had T1D (65.7%) and were regular attenders for DRS (76.5%). The most salient TDF domains for DRS attendance were ‘__Goals__’, with 93% agreeing that DRS was a high priority, and ‘__Knowledge__’, with 98% being aware that screening can detect eye problems early. Overall, 67.4% indicated that they would like greater appointment flexibility __(Environmental context/resources__) and 31.3% reported difficulties getting time off work/study to attend appointments __(Environmental context/resources__). This was more commonly reported by occasional non-attenders versus regular attenders (59.
