A meeting was held at Dianella Community Health – Broadmeadows site on Tuesday 21st of February (Reeva, Lee, Basil, Ralph, Sally, Ivan, Bruce and Kylie) with phone linkup to DoHA, to present and discuss the results of the focus groups and the refined prototypes, QUPP GP Focus group/Information Evening & Workshop and Project timeline.
Following the meeting, a combined prototype (Appendix 3), which took account of the preferences of both the CALD and English speaking patient groups, was created. This prototype was based on consensus at the meeting. It was decided that the best features of both designs should be used in one prototype to be presented and discussed with doctors and practice nurses during the focus group dinner/workshop.
Significant changes to the prototype at this stage were:
- Deleted the personal picture from the prototype at this stage of the project because of technical issues for trialling doctors.
- Replaced the words “risk”, “above normal”, “normal”, and “below normal” with “Too high” “healthy” and “too low”.
- Limited the bar graph to two colours; green for healthy and red for too high or too low.
- Presented the positives and negative messages as pictures of other people with the name of the risks and benefits. Kept the blindness, heart attack, kidney disease and leg amputation risks.
- Kept the types of the foods; foods that increase sugar level and foods that reduce sugar level.
- Deleted the new added part in the Arabic groups’ prototype that recorded the daily sugar level test as patients are given a separate diary to record their daily test results.
