Diabetes Risk Perception Data

This data file provides raw data from a study conducted in the UK in person survey and online. 210 participants data is available. The study sort to assess participants actual (clinical) risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared to their perceived risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The study focused on understanding individual differences in risk perception, i.e. ethnicity. Measures : Demographic information included gender, age, sex, self-identified ethnic group and family history of diabetes. Risk Perception: Risk Perception (RP) was assessed using the validated Risk Perception Survey of Developing Diabetes (RPS-DD) questionnaire (Walker et al., 2003). The RPS-DD comprised 53 items, including five subscales: (a) Personal Disease Risk, (b) Comparative Environmental Health Risk, (c) Personal Control, (d) Optimistic Bias, and (e) Worry. A single item in the Personal Disease Risk scale measured the perceived risk for developing diabetes. The remaining items in this scale measured perceived risk to health of other chronic conditions. The Likert responses assigned numerical values from 1 to 4 for levels of perceived risk. “Almost No Risk”, “Slight Risk”, “Moderate Risk”, and “High Risk”. The scale was scored as the average of the items. A higher score refers to a higher perceived risk. Three subscales measure general attitudes that may modify risk perception for developing T2D: Personal Control subscale, Optimistic Bias subscale and Worry subscale. The Likert responses to these subscales, assigned numerical values from 1 to 4, are “Strongly Agree”, “Agree”, “Disagree”, and “Strongly Disagree”. Each subscale was scored as the average of the items, and a higher score was interpreted as a higher level of agreement for the assessed factor. A total risk perception score was calculated by adding each score for the subscales.本数据集文件提供了一项在英国开展的面对面与线上结合调研的原始数据，共包含210名参与者的有效数据。本研究旨在评估参与者罹患2型糖尿病（type 2 diabetes, 简称T2D）的实际（临床）风险与其感知患病风险之间的差异，并聚焦于风险感知层面的个体差异——即种族差异。 测量指标如下：人口统计学信息涵盖性别、年龄、自我认同种族群体以及糖尿病家族史。风险感知方面：本研究采用经验证的《糖尿病患病风险感知调查问卷（Risk Perception Survey of Developing Diabetes, RPS-DD）》（Walker等人，2003）来评估参与者的风险感知（Risk Perception, RP）。该问卷共包含53个条目，下设5个分量表：(a) 个人疾病风险、(b) 对比性环境健康风险、(c) 个人掌控感、(d) 乐观偏差、(e) 担忧程度。其中个人疾病风险分量表中的单个条目用于测量参与者对罹患糖尿病的感知风险，该分量表其余条目则用于测量参与者对其他慢性疾病的健康风险感知。该量表采用1至4分的李克特（Likert）评分对感知风险等级进行赋值，对应选项分别为"几乎无风险""轻微风险""中度风险"与"高度风险"，量表得分取所有条目的平均分，得分越高代表感知风险越高。另有三个分量表用于衡量可能影响2型糖尿病患病风险感知的一般性态度：个人掌控感分量表、乐观偏差分量表与担忧程度分量表。针对这三类分量表的李克特评分采用1至4分赋值，对应选项分别为"非常同意""同意""不同意"与"非常不同意"，各分量表得分取其条目平均分，得分越高代表对所评估因素的认同程度越高。最终通过汇总各分量表得分计算得到总风险感知得分。
