Learning About Physical Activity in Teens with Type 2 Diabetes

In this study, we want to learn more about what helps and what makes it harder for teens with type 2 diabetes to be physically active. To do this, we are talking to teens and their parents/caregivers in small group discussions.


Why this Research Matters

We want to make digital health tools to help children and teens with type 2 diabetes be more physically active. To do this, we want to learn from teens and parents/caregivers about what helps and what makes it harder to be physically active. If you or your child joins this study, you will take part in a small group discussion with other teens or parents/caregivers. We will ask you to share your thoughts and feelings about being active. We will also ask you to fill out surveys about your perspectives.
