Could you help a team of researchers who are exploring mental health issues for people with Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes?
If you can, we need your help…
Mental Health Issues in Diabetes
The RESCUE Collaborative Community (Reducing Suicide Rates Among Individuals with Diabetes) is conducting a survey to learn more about behavioral health (also called mental health) in people with diabetes (both type 1 and type 2) in order to improve care in this area. This is a difficult topic, and we would very much appreciate your input to help us better support people with diabetes struggling with behavioral health issues.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for adults who have Type 1 diabetes or Type 2 diabetes.
What are we doing?
We would like you to complete a short survey about mental health issues associated with living with diabetes.
The survey is anonymous and completely confidential.
Why do we need your help?
We know that the risks of mental health challenges are higher amongst people with diabetes but we do not know about people’s experiences of these or what support they would find useful from their healthcare team.
How can you help?
Please complete the survey using this link.
