Understanding the behavioral determinants that predict barriers and enablers of screening and treatment behaviors for diabetic retinopathy among Bangladeshi women: Findings from a barrier analysis
The study found a host of determinants related to the barriers to and enablers of DR screening and treatment behaviors. These determinants included perceived self-efficacy (and agency), positive and negative consequences, perceived access, perceived social norms, culture, and perceived risk. Further investments are required to enhance the availability of DR services within primary and secondary health institutions along with health behavior promo…
