Participants from Canadian diabetes association Registry (N =1,923; recruitment strategy 1), Participants (N =2,319) were recruited from the Canadian Diabetes Association and through a random digit dialing (RDD) protocol (N =396; recruitment strategy 2) during May 2002, limited to members living in the province of Alberta. With recruitment strategy 1, completed questionnaires were obtained from 1,923 individuals (609 type 1; 1,307 type 2; 7 missing diabetes type). The response rate for this sample could not be determined because the association's membership includes an unknown number of friends, family members, healthcare practitioners, and researchers who do not have diabetes. The second recruitment strategy obtained completed questionnaires from 396 of the 600 individuals who agreed to participate in the study (66%: 88 type 1, 307 type 2, and 1 missing diabetes type). Of this group, 206 (52%) were directly contacted in the RDD protocol, whereas 190 (48%) were referred by family/friends in the RDD protocol. Participant recruitment procedure, sample and study response rates are detailed elsewhere (Plotnikoff et.al 2006). However, this is the first study from the dataset to examine the PMT.
