Type 2 Diabetes research project - Exploring people’s experiences of online support forums on T2D self-management

[Maja_UofS]

Hi all,

My name is Maja and I am a Health Psychology masters student at the University of Stirling.

I am conducting an interview study to explore how online support forums influence self-management and interactions with healthcare professionals for those living with type 2 diabetes.

The study will involve participating in an online group or individual interview. The interview should last no longer than 90 minutes for groups, or 60 minutes for individual interviews, and I will ask you about your experiences of using online support forums for self-managing your T2D along with how it has impacted your interactions with healthcare professionals.

To take part in this research you must have a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, live in the UK, use online support forums either currently on in the past and also be able to speak, read and understand English.

This study is looking to recruit participants between May and July 2022.

In thanks for your participation in this study, The University of Stirling will be pleased to offer you a £15 voucher as compensation for your time.

The ethical approaches of this project have been approved through the University of Stirling General University Ethics Panel.

This study has been approved by @Cherrelle DUK
