The Diabetes Research and Training Center at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis is seeking diabetic adults over age 60 to participate in a research project.
The study will investigate how personal interactions, beliefs, and life patterns help or hinder diabetic adults. Results should help professionals develop programs to address the needs of those adults. Martha Storandt, Ph.D., professor of psychology, is the principal investigator of the project. “The prevalence of diabetes increases dramatically with age,” says Julio V. Santiago, M.D., director of the Diabetes Research and Training Center. “With the increase in the number and proportion of older adults in our population, many of the people seeking treatment for diabetes in the future will be older adults.” The Diabetes Center has developed educational programs for nurses, doctors, pharmacists, and social workers to increase their awareness of the needs of their diabetic patients. Other programs have been developed to help patients take a more active role in managing their own diabetes.
To volunteer for the study, call 361-4808.
