Evaluating the Influence of Diabetes Stigma on Medication Adherence

"The surveys to be administered in the ENDSTIGMA study are as follows:~1. The Adherence to Refills and Medications for Diabetes survey is a validated, diabetes-specific survey measure utilizing patient self-report to assess diabetes medication adherence.~2. The Demographics survey will be used to assess participant baseline characteristics, including body mass index (BMI). The questions contained in this survey have been validated by Dr. Kerri Cavanaugh's research group.~3. Comprehensive Diabetes Stigma Survey is a novel survey being developed and validated in the ENDSTIGMA study. The ENDSTIGMA study will also compare the results from this survey with the medication adherence results, to determine if there is an association between diabetes stigma and medication adherence."
