While PRIME demonstrates effectiveness in clinical outcomes, the integration of such programs into community pharmacy services remains limited.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S1463423626101765_as3\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In-depth focus group discussions and one-on-one interviews were conducted with participants and pharmacists who were involved in PRIME. The semi-structured interviews focused on the experiences and perceptions of the implementation of PRIME and its influence on behaviour change. All audio-recorded interviews were transcribed, coded, and analysed using thematic analysis techniques, leading to the development of major themes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S1463423626101765_as4\">\n                    <jats:title>Findings:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Seven focus groups and twenty interviews were conducted among 37 participants and 10 pharmacists. Five themes were developed: 1) Intrinsic motivations towards better health; 2) Influence of rapport building; 3) Improved convenience to healthcare access; 4) Resource and support; and 5) Innovation with digital health. Key barriers were related to the use of digital health tools (technical difficulties, lacking engaging functionalities) and resources (workload management, availability of prediabetes-specific guidelines). The participants perceived the blended approach of in-person support with technology-assisted interventions in PRIME as an effective way to build healthier lifestyles. While community pharmacy-based prediabetes management programs like PRIME can be effective in driving healthier lifestyles, several barriers hinder their broader adoption. Addressing these barriers could enhance the implementation and uptake of these programs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s1463423626101765","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,18]],"date-time":"2026-09-18T06:14:47Z","timestamp":1789712087000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Facilitators and barriers to implementing a digital health-supported, community pharmacy-based prediabetes management program (PRIME program) in Malaysia: a qualitative study of participants\u2019 and pharmacists\u2019 perspectives"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7503-0018","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kah Woon","family":"Teoh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/00yncr324","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Monash University Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1754-1909","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Choon Ming","family":"Ng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/00yncr324","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Monash University Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6881-8883","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chun Wie","family":"Chong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/00yncr324","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Monash University Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8652-7369","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wing Loong","family":"Cheong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/00yncr324","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Monash University Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7361-6576","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shaun Wen Huey","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/00yncr324","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Monash University Malaysia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"S1463423626101765_ref51","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jgf2.70096"},{"key":"S1463423626101765_ref27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1748-5908-6-42"},{"key":"S1463423626101765_ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0219686"},{"key":"S1463423626101765_ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2337\/cd17-0049"},{"key":"S1463423626101765_ref19","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"393","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa012512","article-title":"Reduction in the incidence of type 2 diabetes with lifestyle intervention or metformin","volume":"346","author":"Knowler","year":"2002","journal-title":"New England Journal of Medicine"},{"key":"S1463423626101765_ref31","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jval.2016.08.590"},{"key":"S1463423626101765_ref37","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S2213-8587(23)00347-9"},{"key":"S1463423626101765_ref22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.lanepe.2022.100527"},{"key":"S1463423626101765_ref38","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12889-016-3226-3"},{"key":"S1463423626101765_ref46","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7812\/TPP\/14-002"},{"key":"S1463423626101765_ref48","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/2055207620914427"},{"key":"S1463423626101765_ref25","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2020\/7410797"},{"key":"S1463423626101765_ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1211\/jphsr.01.01.0013"},{"key":"S1463423626101765_ref50","volume-title":"Guidelines for the Prevention, Management and Care of Diabetes Mellitus","year":"2006"},{"key":"S1463423626101765_ref32","first-page":"537","article-title":"Effects of diet and exercise in preventing NIDDM in people with impaired glucose tolerance","volume":"20","author":"Pan","year":"1997","journal-title":"The Da Qing IGT and Diabetes Study.
