We are looking for interview participants for a study on “Knowledge Creation and Sharing on Diabetes Online Communities”. The study is led by Dr Roberta Bernardi and Dr Philip Wu from Royal Holloway, University of London in collaboration with Diabetes.co.uk.

The interviewer will ask you questions about how you participate and share knowledge in the online forum of Diabetes.co.uk and how you use this knowledge in managing your health. The interview should last no longer than 60 minutes and can be either face-to-face or over Skype/phone depending on circumstances.

Please comment on this thread if you are interested and we will get in touch to give more information about the study and arrange a suitable time for the interview.

Want to get involved? Leave a message here or PM with your email address. Thanks!

Edit: This is acknowledge that @RobyJaxx is one of the lead researchers on this piece of work, and is thereby approved.

For anyone interested, I took part, a few weeks ago now, in a focus group for this piece of work and there's nothing intrusive involved at all, and it's a great opportunity to get involved in potentially making a change. I imagine the 1:1 participation would be similar.

I'm not sure I've been here long enough to talk about this forum specifically (though in the 7 days I've been aware of it, it HAS helped me immensely) but I'm very happy to take part.
