In this thesis, we aim to assess the present status of CMD implementation programmes across Europe, and to study barriers and facilitators on different levels: the health care system, health care providers and the target population.

Research objectives:
1. On health care system level: to provide information on the current status of the implementation of health checks for CMD across Europe and on conditions to facilitate the implementation;
2. On health care provider level: to give more insight in the current activities an barriers and facilitators for GPs to invite their patients for a CMD health check, as well as their attitude towards selective prevention of CMD;
3. On population level: to examine willingness of the target population to participate in a health check for CMD as well as barriers and facilitators for participation.
