Patients’ and carers’ perceptions on routine mental health screening in paediatric diabetes care

This research project is looking for teenagers living with diabetes or their carers. It will determine patients’ and carers’ perceptions regarding 1) their health care team’s role in screening psychological concerns; and 2) barriers and facilitators to implementing psychosocial screening in practice. It will ask questions like:
-How confident do you feel talking about mental health concerns with your diabetes providers?
-What would make it easier to talk about mental health with your diabetes providers? 

What is involved?  

You will be asked to complete an online survey. The survey is anonymous and will take approximately 15 minutes to complete.
