Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. Attendance measured as part of the Pilot Screening Programme using the UK AAA Screening Programme methods at baseline for all individuals invited, not just participants in the follow-up, interview, and GENEActiv studies 2. Quality of life measured using EQ-5D-5L at baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, and 5 years as part of the follow-up study

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Prevalence of PAD and high BP measured using a questionnaire at baseline as part of the Pilot Screening Programme and baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, and 5 years as part of the follow-up study 2. Prevalence of undiagnosed PAD and high BP measured using a questionnaire at baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, and 5 years as part of the follow-up study 3. Prevalence of untreated PAD and high BP measured using a questionnaire at baseline, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, and 5 years as part of the follow-up study. 4. Acceptability of screening test measured by a question on a scale of 1 to 10 after screening as part of follow-up study. Acceptability of the screening is also assessed by interview immediately after screening for those that screen positive for PAD and/or high BP. Acceptability is also assessed by interview after 3 months for the managers and again for those that screen positive for PAD and/or high BP at 6 months. 5. Training requirements for AAA+PAD+BP screening determined from the qualitative interviews with screening staff and managers after screening, 3 months, and throughout screening activities and following clinical training under the pilot screening programme 6. Additional time required for PAD+BP screening vs AAA screening in men measured by collecting the start and end times of appointments at the screening appointment as part of the service evaluation of the clinical pilot screening programme 7. Uptake of CV risk management in men and women that screen positive for PAD and/or high BP, measured by questionnaire (including IPAQ) at 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, and 5 years as part of the follow-up study and from activity data collected by wearing the GENEActiv activity device monitor at baseline and 6 months. Uptake of CV risk management will also be assessed by interviews with those that screen positive for PAD and/or high BP
