Brief Summary  

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are significant public health concerns in India. However, the uptake of screening for diabetes and hypertension is low, especially among rural and also women. Women Self-Help Groups (SHGs) are an important community mobilisation structure in rural areas in India. The national program for NCDs suggests involvement of SHGs amongst other similar community participation to be strengthened and established as a platform for community awareness and promotive and preventive care activities.

Primary Objective:

To assess the effectiveness of engaging women self-help groups in promoting the uptake of screening for diabetes and hypertension among women in rural Jodhpur.

Secondary Objectives:

To study the current level of knowledge and practice regarding diabetes and hypertension prevention and screening among women

To identify barriers and facilitators to the uptake of screening for diabetes and hypertension among women in rural Jodhpur.

To assess the feasibility of engaging women self-help groups in facilitating the promotion of the uptake of diabetes and hypertension screening.
