Abstract

To better understand this issue, the study engaged a total of 193 participants, including 13 NHS Health Check professionals, through focus groups representing a wide range of ethnic backgrounds. These sessions provided rich qualitative data on both user experiences and the perspectives of healthcare providers. Participants represented 10 distinct global majority groups: Arabs, Bangladeshi, Black Caribbean, Chinese, Ghanaian, Indian, Nigerian, Pakistani, Somali, and White British. The average age of all participants was 52.1 years. Of the total participants, 153 were within the NHS Health Check eligible age range (40-74 years). Total 45 participants reported having had an NHS Health Check. This figure includes only members of the public who were eligible for and attended the checks and does not include NHS Health Check staff who participated in the study. Only 5 participants had some form of disability.
