My name is Melody Kosik and I am a second year physician assistant student at the Stanford School of Medicine.
For my thesis project, I am conducting a qualitative research study to better understand the communication dynamics between young adults with type 1 diabetes and their diabetes management teams.
I am looking to interview young adults aged 18-30 with type 1 diabetes who currently reside in the state of California. Participants must have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at least one year prior to June 1st, 2024. Participants must be able to read, write, and speak in either English or Spanish. Participation includes a 30-60 minute Zoom interview to answer open-ended questions pertaining to your personal experience with diabetes, your relationship with your care team, and your experience with peers with type 1 diabetes (if any).
If you meet the criteria in the above paragraph and are interested in learning more about the study or wish to participate, please email me at mkosik@stanford.edu.
Thank you,
Melody Kosik
