Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Survey

Introduction

The title of this research study is Understanding the Relationship Between Diabetic-Related Health Knowledge, Psychosocial Health Efficacy, and Diabetic Control.

I am Christiana Etukudo, a doctoral student under the supervision of Dr. Bryan in the College of Doctoral Studies at Grand Canyon University.

The purpose of this study is to seek to know the relationship between diabetic-related health knowledge, psychosocial self-efficacy, and the likelihood of diabetic control. Several studies have been conducted looking into the subject of the link between diabetic-related health knowledge, self-care management, and diabetes control. However, more still needs to be known about how diabetes affects the diabetic population in northern California.
