AIM: To assess the prevalence of modifiable health-risk behaviours among Indigenous Australian adults with diabetes attending a regional Victorian Indigenous primary-care clinic. DESIGN: A cross-sectional observational single-site study. METHODS: As part of a multi-study project we administered the Smoking, Nutrition, Alcohol consumption, Physical activity and Emotional wellbeing (SNAPE) survey tool during the study baseline visit to methodically capture health-related behavioural data in the nurse-led integrated Diabetes Education and Eye Screening (iDEES) project in a regional Indigenous primary healthcare setting between January 2018 and March 2020. This descriptive SNAPE study helps address the lack of health behaviour data for Indigenous people with diabetes. RESULTS: Of 172 eligible adults, 135 (79%) were recruited to the iDEES study, 50 (37%) male. All participated in at least one survey. Median (range) age was 56 (46-67) years; 130 (96%) had Type 2 diabetes of median [IQR] duration 6 (2-12) years. All 135 provided smoking data; 88 (65%) completed all surveys. Forty-nine (36%) and 29 (22%) were current or former smokers, respectively; 5 (6%) met vegetable intake guidelines, 22 (25%) met fruit intake guidelines; 38 [43%] drank alcohol in the past year. On average, participants walked for ≥10 min at a time 4 days/week and sat for an average of 8 h on weekdays; 35 (40%) had minimal-mild, and 30 (34%) had moderate-severe depressive symptoms. CONCLUSION: Suboptimal modifiable health-risk behaviours and depressive symptoms are common in Indigenous Australian adults with diabetes. IMPACT: Orderly assessment and reporting of health-risk behaviours using a single multi-component survey instrument (SNAPE tool) during a nurse-led diabetes education clinical visit is feasible and efficient. Such data may facilitate personalised interventions and improve diabetes management at both individual and health service levels.
