据估计，糖尿病影响加纳3.3%至8.3%的成年人，预计患病率将上升。缺乏专门为加纳人口设计的具有成本效益的糖尿病预防方案，这一问题值得紧急关注。背景意识、反应和评估（CARE）：加纳糖尿病项目是一项混合方法研究，旨在了解阿克拉Ga Mashie地区的糖尿病，确定社区干预的机会，并为未来的糖尿病预防和控制战略提供信息。本文介绍了CARE项目中定量调查的研究设计。这项调查将在加纳阿克拉人口稠密的Ga Mashie地区进行。将采用简单随机抽样的方式进行住户调查，从2021年加纳人口和住房普查确定的80个查点地区选择住户。经过培训的普查员将对年龄≥ 25岁的永久居民进行访谈并收集数据。孕妇和过去六个月内分娩的妇女将被排除在外。数据分析将使用描述性和推断性统计的组合，所有分析将考虑整群抽样设计。分析将描述糖尿病的患病率，其他疾病和相关的风险因素，并确定糖尿病与身体，社会和行为参数之间的关系。这项调查将提供关于糖尿病的驱动因素和后果的证据，并促进加纳城市预防和控制糖尿病和其他非传染性疾病的努力，这与其他低收入社区有关。
Diabetes is estimated to affect between 3.3% and 8.3% of adults in Ghana, and prevalence is expected to rise. The lack of cost-effective diabetes prevention programmes designed specifically for the Ghanaian population warrants urgent attention. The Contextual Awareness, Response and Evaluation (CARE): Diabetes Project in Ghana is a mixed methods study that aims to understand diabetes in the Ga Mashie area of Accra, identify opportunities for community-based intervention and inform future diabetes prevention and control strategies. This paper presents the study design for the quantitative survey within the CARE project. This survey will take place in the densely populated Ga Mashie area of Accra, Ghana. A household survey will be conducted using simple random sampling to select households from 80 enumeration areas identified in the 2021 Ghana Population and Housing Census. Trained enumerators will interview and collect data from permanent residents aged ≥ 25 years. Pregnant women and those who have given birth in the last six months will be excluded. Data analysis will use a combination of descriptive and inferential statistics, and all analyses will account for the cluster sampling design. Analyses will describe the prevalence of diabetes, other morbidities, and associated risk factors and identify the relationship between diabetes and physical, social, and behavioural parameters. This survey will generate evidence on drivers and consequences of diabetes and facilitate efforts to prevent and control diabetes and other NCDs in urban Ghana, with relevance for other low-income communities.
