Brief description of study

ARE YOU A BLACK OR AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES? 
 
We Want To Hear From YOU!

Researchers at the Indiana University School of Medicine are inviting volunteers to share their thoughts and opinions on handouts that they have created for a treatment for women who are struggling with diabetes.

Participation involves attending a one-time online focus group (video-conference) - NO IN-PERSON VISITS ARE REQUIRED.

Your feedback will help researchers to improve an intervention for people with diabetes.
