Diabetes Special Interest Group

Mission and goals

The Diabetes Special Interest Group promotes the use of evidenced-based approaches to assess and treat the biopsychosocial factors associated with morbidity in diabetes.

Our specific goals are to:

  1. Increase collaborative opportunities between pediatric psychologists who conduct research and provide clinical care to pediatric patients with diabetes and their families.
  2. Promote an integrated team approach to the medical management of pediatric patients with diabetes and their families.
  3. Provide assessment and treatment resources to researchers and clinicians who work with pediatric patients with diabetes and their families.
  4. Train and mentor new diabetes-focused researchers and clinicians using scientific approaches to the medical and psychological management of diabetes.
