Friendship and Diabetes

We are very interested in the role that friendship plays in the lives of youth with type 1 diabetes. We have conducted a number of studies in this area and written several literature reviews. We are currently in the design stage of planning a new study, (TBH Study), in this area that will use ecological momentary assessment.
