Name of Study

Stigma and Daily Life with Diabetes

 

Purpose of Study (300 words)

This research will help us better understand stigma associated with diabetes and its impact on
emotional wellbeing in those with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. By exploring the associated factors and
the daily psychological and behavioural effects of diabetes stigma, we aim to gather comprehensive insights that can potentially improve the well-being of individuals living with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. This research is not-for-profit and is only
intended to ultimately help improve psychological well-being and behavioural outcomes in the population. If you are interested in taking part, please find some more information here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfHo_avVlqzds10zEpC4HnMtRukL39xfPRIGRt8rXBfSYA8Ow/viewform?usp=sf_link
