Harnessing Technology to Develop a Just-in-Time Adaptive Intervention to Promote Physical Activity in Adolescents with Type 2 Diabetes

The purpose of this study is to learn more about the things in daily life that help or get in the way of physical activity for teenagers with type 2 diabetes.


Why this Research Matters

The purpose of this study is to learn more about the things in daily life that help or get in the way of physical activity for teenagers with type 2 diabetes. It is important to hear directly from teenagers about their experiences with physical activity, as well as from their parents/caregivers. We will also ask doctors, therapists, and other health providers who work with teens with type 2 diabetes to take part in a separate discussion about physical activity. Parents/caregivers and teenagers who join this study will take part in a group discussion about physical activity. They will also be asked to complete brief surveys. The goal of all parts of this study is to gather information that will help us develop digital health tools to support physical activity in youth with type 2 diabetes.
