Question asked by: Sharad (17) ---SA

Question: Hi,I'm currently conducting a research project involving the study of the quality of life amongst adolescents living with type 1 diabetes. I was wondering if it would be possible that I post some questions on this forum.

Answer:

Hi Sharad

The question forum on this website is designed in such a way that the health professionals responsible for answering questions are the only ones who can respond to questions uploaded on the forum. Therefore it would not be possible for this type of research to be conducted via the diabetes kids and teens website question forum.

We would suggest that you contact your local state based diabetes organisation or your closest paediatric diabetes service to see if you can recruit participants for your study that way. They will have strict protocols on the conduct of research with their members/patients, however if your research is through a university and has ethics clearance then they may be able to assist with your request.

The link below provides information on paediatric diabetes services across Australia.

We hope this helps you.
