Approved People with Type 1 Diabetes Needed for Online Interview

[Zijie Xie]

Hi everyone,

I'm a Doctoral Researcher from Loughborough University. I am currently conducting a study on users' experiences with diabetes websites in the UK. This study has been approved by the Ethics Committee of Loughborough University and Diabetes.co.uk.

I would like to invite you to attend an online interview if you:
1) are over the age of 18;
2) have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes
4) are British or have resided in the UK for more than 10 years.

To thank you for your time, you will receive a £15 Amazon voucher as appreciation.

Please register your interest here: https://lboro.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/online-survey-and-invitation-for-online-interview

Your contribution will help us better understand the needs and experiences of UK individuals with diabetes when navigating diabetes-related websites. If you have any questions or need more information about this study, please feel free to contact me at: [email protected]

Thank you for considering participating in this study.

Best wishes,
Zijie

It is really challenging to recruit enough participants.

It is really challenging to recruit enough participants.

Have you tried any of the various Facebook groups on diabetes?
(I can't help, I don't live in the UK.)

Thank you so much for your response. Yes, I've shared my recruitment information in a diabetes-related Facebook group. However, many groups restrict researchers from joining or posting such ads, which is understandable.

I still need 10 participants with Type 1 diabetes and 8 participants with Type 2 diabetes. I would highly appreciate it if anyone could participate in my online interview. I really really really need your help.

If you're interested and would like to help, could you please register your participation via the following link below:

Thank you so so so much!

Hi Zijie,

I am also recruiting for a project and wondered if you'd shared your project over on Twitter? I wonder if this would help with recruitment. Best wishes with the research.

Hi @Diabetes&Compassion, are you referring to my personal Twitter account? I shared it, but it didn't work well as I only have a few followers. Do you have any suggestions?

If you're happy to tag me on twitter (@diabcompassion) I could give it an RT. I don't have a huge amount of followers however, I set this account up for my research project and I hope I can help share the research
