Invitation to Participate in Diabetes Research:
Dear Clients,
We’re so excited to have Emily Hayes on our team! As a reminder, Emily is completing her doctorate in occupational therapy and will be working with us over the next few months to complete her research on diabetes care. Please see below for more information about Emily’s research and opportunities to participate.
Please let us know if you have any questions!
Warmly,
The Lauren Newman Nutrition Therapy Team
A Note From Emily:
I am conducting a research study entitled “Educational Program to Prevent Long-Term Complications for Individuals With Diabetes.” The purpose of the study is to design and tailor an educational program on diabetes self-management from an occupational therapy perspective. The following survey will be used to gather firsthand insight into the daily lived experiences of people managing diabetes, identifying their specific challenges, support needs, and gaps in current care. The data collected will guide the development of educational programs that are individualized to each patient, ensuring the program is patient-centered, practical, and impactful.
Following completion of the survey, you may also choose to participate in the educational program. There is no obligation to participate in or complete the program after the survey. You may decide the level of involvement that works best for you, and you may withdraw at any time. If you complete the program, medical data such as CGM information and Diabetes Distress Scale scores may be used for research purposes. All information will remain confidential and de-identified in the research findings.
To qualify to participate, you must be a patient at Lauren Newman Nutrition Therapy and have a diabetes or prediabetes diagnosis.
Completing the survey should take around 5 minutes of your time.
If you are interested in participating, please use this link to complete the survey by Monday September 22nd:
