Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Aboriginal Community Control Health Organisations (ACCHOs) in the intervention arm will receive a multifactorial, ecologically based collaborative intervention for 24 months. Strategies, including recall registers and reminders, access to specialist advice, and staff training, will be included within a broader ecological approach which will identify and address barriers to change. Representative from each ACCHO will meet with researchers to review data related to screening and managment of Type 2 diabetes, explore the evidence practice gap and discuss potential solutions. Workshops at ACCHOs and inter-organisation meetings will be held throughout the intervention to provide educational material, staff training, and information on effective recall and reminder systems. ACCHOs will be able to access a website that will contain latest information on diabetes care, information tailored for each ACCHO, guidelines and clinical care prompts. Each ACCHO will set short-term and long-term clinical targets. There will be on-going feedback of clinical data to ACCHOs and access to an expert advisory group to help develop systems to providing best practice diabetes care.

Comparator / control treatment
ACCHOs in the control group will not be provided with feedback data or assistance from the research team. Their patients will receive the usual care during the intervention and assessment period. If the outcome analysis indicates there has been a significant positive effect on screening and managment of type 2 diabetes in intervention ACCHOs then the control group will be offered the intervention.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 266759 0
At post test census, for patients aged 35 years and over who have attended in the previous 12 months there
will be a 10% difference between patients from experimental versus control ACCHOs in terms of the
proportion of:
1. Patients without a previous diagnosis of diabetes who have been screened for diabetes via a fasting or
random plasma glucose test within the recommended 3 year period.
