Hey friends,
I would like to introduce the Intercultural Diabetes Online Community Research Council, or iDOCr. Diabetes Hands Foundation is part of this multi-disciplinary research group. Funded through a PCORI grant (watch the video below, about PCORI grants), the goal of our work is to identify opportunities for patient centered comparative effectiveness research. Please answer the following 2 questions to help us begin to refine the patient-centered research project we will conduct!
- What health outcomes (clinical and quality of life) do you think can
be improved by being a member of the diabetes online community? - How can we encourage people with type 2 diabetes to engage in social
support via social media?
We will use the answers to these questions begin to develop research questions that impact members of the diabetes online community.
