TITLE OF RESEARCH: Motivation for Diabetes Management in a Recreation Setting: Examining the Impact of Family Camp

RESEARCHER: Dr. Eddie Hill (Responsible Project Investigator), Assistant Professor, Old Dominion University

Takeyra Collins, Doctoral Student, Old Dominion University DESCRIPTION OF RESEARCH STUDY: Diabetes camps have long been considered beneficial to participants. The camp experience also allowed youth to meet others who are coping with the similar daily struggles. Camp offers adolescents the opportunities to share common experiences, form meaningful friendships, and make decisions about behaviors that impact their diabetes. Through this study, we hope to determine the role that motivation plays in diabetes management at family residential and day camps.

If you decide to participate in this study, you will be asked to complete a 5-10 minute survey twice and your child three times. Parents will be asked to complete this survey once while at camp and once by mail/on-line. Approximately 100 campers will be asked to complete this survey twice while at camp and once by mail/on-line. Your and your child’s participation will take approximately 20 minutes of your time.

EXCLUSIONARY CRITERIA: In order for your child to participate in this study, your child must be diagnosed with diabetes and participated in diabetes camp during 2017.

RISKS: There could be a risk of loss of confidentiality and distress in responding to the surveys as items are brought up for consideration. There will be camp counselors available to address any distress or concerns that the participants may express.

BENEFITS: There are no direct benefits to your child for participating in this study. However, the main benefit to you is that you will receive a summary of results about how camp impacts motivation of diabetes management.

COSTS AND PAYMENTS: The researcher are unable to give you or your child any payment for participating in this study.

NEW INFORMATION: You will be contacted if new information is discovered that would reasonably change your decision about your or your child’s participation in this study.

WITHDRAWAL PRIVILEGE: Your and your child’s participation in this study is completely voluntary. It is all right to refuse your and your child’s participation.
