Researchers at Children's Hospital Colorado want to find ways to prevent type 2 diabetes. If you believe your teenage daughter or family member could be at risk for developing depression and type 2 diabetes, she may benefit from the Mood and Insulin Resistance for Diabetes (MIND) prevention research project.
Participating teens receive up to $665 as compensation for their time.
The goal of this study is to see if helping teenage girls feel less stressed can decrease their chance of developing type 2 diabetes.
Our hope is that by managing depression – a risk factor for type 2 diabetes that is common in teenage girls – we can learn more about ways to prevent type 2 diabetes.
A six-session after-school program that focuses on mood, stress and health information in a group setting. Sessions take place once per week for six weeks.
