Study Purpose/Description
People living in rural/country Australia have higher rates of type 2 diabetes but less access to healthcare services compared with people living in cities. Taking part in research can provide people with access to new technologies, medicines, and other interventions, with the potential to improve health outcomes.
Research findings are strongest when people from different backgrounds and locations are represented. However, there are few studies in Australia which have asked people living in rural/country communities what they think about taking part in diabetes research. This study wants to change that.
What’s Involved?
Taking part in this study involves sharing your views on diabetes research in a 30-minute phone or video call with a member of the research team at a day and time convenient to you.
