Nouha Saleh Stattin's research
My research focuses, among other things, on developing interventions to improve early detection of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes (T2D), as well as enhancing care for individuals with these two conditions.
Research focus
1. CoPreDia: Co-designing a behavioral change model for people with pre-diabetes: studies in primary health care
Lifestyle interventions in controlled environments reduce the incidence of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and all-cause mortality among individuals with prediabetes. However, successfully implementing such interventions in primary care—where people with prediabetes are diagnosed and followed up—remains a challenge. Previous studies show that behavioral change interventions are more successful when the target group is involved in co-designing the efforts. Our hypothesis is therefore that if we involve both individuals with prediabetes and their healthcare providers in co-designing a behavioral change model, interventions using this model will result in sustainable change.
2. Translating and evaluating a toolbox to facilitate family involvement in self-care for people with T2D treated in primary care
The aim is to translate, culturally adapt, and pilot test the effectiveness of the Family Toolbox in Swedish primary care. This is a collaboration with the Steno Diabetes Center in Copenhagen.
3. Improved detection of cardiometabolic risk factors and type 2 diabetes in Region Stockholm
Cardiometabolic risk factors and non-communicable diseases are major causes of disability and mortality. Cardiometabolic risk factors such as high blood pressure and elevated fasting blood glucose together account for 27 percent of the disease burden in Region Stockholm. The co-occurrence of metabolic risk factors also increases the risk of T2D. Early identification and treatment of individuals with cardiometabolic risk factors or T2D can delay disease progression and prevent complications and premature death. Unfortunately, T2D often goes undetected in primary care patients, and the statistics on identified cardiometabolic risk factors in this population are incomplete. The aim of this research project is to enable more effective detection and treatment of cardiometabolic risk factors and T2D in primary care in Region Stockholm.
