Study Purpose View help for Study Purpose
The purpose of the Diabetes Mental Health Initiative, the quantitative phase of the 3D study funded by the Diabetes Caswell Institute, is threefold: (1) to support interdisciplinary quantitative and qualitative social and behavioral science research on the complex ways that mental health intersects with diabetes risk, self-management, and prognosis across the lifespan; (2) to support the development, adoption, and dissemination of integrative approaches to mental health promotion for persons living with diabetes in a range of clinical and community settings; (3) to accelerate interdisciplinary, integrative research on how psychological, social, and behavioral factors influence diabetes risk, prognosis, and outcomes in the US and globally.
Study Design View help for Study Design
The online survey was conducted using Qualtrics and took approximately 40 minutes to complete. The survey consisted of 11 core domains that were asked of all participants, regardless of diabetes type, and then followed by a set of questions that were relevant to specific type of diabetes. Questions were programmed to require respondents to provide a response to advance in the survey.
Sample View help for Sample
The sample was drawn from the University of Michigan Caswell Diabetes Institute (CDI) Repository. CDI provided University of Michigan Data Office for Clinical and Translational Research (DOCTR) with 62,000 adults and their diabetes type data, which was then limited to those with email information (58,000 individuals). This sample was then split into diabetes diagnosis type and emails were sent out in batches of 500.
Persons were eligible if they were aged 18 or older, have a diabetes diagnosis identified on their problem list, and have at least three clinical encounters (i.e., office visits, virtual visits, hospital admissions, or emergency department visits) in the last two years (4/1/2021 through 3/31/2023) by any department at Michigan Medicine.
