Help Us Understand the Emotional Side of Diabetes in Diverse Communities
The MIND-MAP study is a national research study exploring the emotional side of living with diabetes, including how diabetes affects emotions, family, culture, faith and daily life. The study aims to help improve support services for people from diverse communities.
The study is seeking people aged 18 years or older who live in Australia and have diabetes, including type 1, type 2, maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) or latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA). People from all cultural, language and faith backgrounds are welcome to participate.
What’s involved?
- Four short online surveys over three years
- Sharing your experiences of the emotional side of living with diabetes
- Surveys can be completed from home
- Your information is confidential, securely stored and never reported in an identifiable way.
People who complete all four surveys can enter a draw to win one of 20 $100 eGift cards.
For Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander participants, the study also offers the option of sharing their experiences through an online survey or a yarn by phone or in person where possible, with a focus on working respectfully with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and strengthening culturally safe diabetes support.
The research is funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) and has been approved by the Deakin University Human Research Ethics Committee (2024/HE000401).
