Implementation steps
T2DM
Implementation of this study involved four steps. In the first step, baseline data was collected to serve as control from August to September 2018. This phase involved collection of information of socio-economic and demographic characteristics, NCDs’ behavioural risks, cardio-metabolic risks, familial risks, knowledge on T2DM and attitude towards T2DM prevention measures. Phase 2 ran from November 2018 to March 2019, which involved awareness creation and sensitization of street food consumers and vendors with information education communication (IEC) such as brochures and banners. Awareness creation also involved group meetings, training of street food vendors on how to prepare a balanced diet and serving a “model plate” to the IP2 group. The messages included in the IEC materials were adapted from information and education communication materials developed and validated by TANCDA in collaboration with the Ministry of Health (MoH) of Tanzania TANCDA et al.
