Summary
The Psychosocial Aspects of Diabetes (PSAD) study group advanced diabetes psychology research in Europe. It increased visibility and quality of psychosocial diabetes science and interventions.
Area of Science:
- Endocrinology and Metabolism
- Psychology
- Public Health
Background:
- Psychosocial diabetes research in Europe was growing but lacked recognition prior to 2020.
- The European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) established the Psychosocial Aspects of Diabetes (PSAD) study group to address this gap.
Observation:
- The formation of the PSAD study group overcame initial hurdles to increase the visibility of diabetes psychology.
- The group has actively promoted research quality through scientific meetings, mentoring, education, and publications.
Findings:
- Establishing the PSAD study group marked a pivotal moment for collaborative research in psychosocial diabetes.
- The group successfully fostered a more recognized and accessible platform for diabetes psychology within the scientific community.
Implications:
- The PSAD study group's work has significantly advanced the quality and dissemination of psychosocial interventions in diabetes care.
- Continued focus on psychosocial aspects is crucial for comprehensive diabetes management and patient well-being.

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Observational studies are a type of analytical study where researchers observe events without any interventions. In other words, the researcher does not influence the response variable or the experiment's outcome.
There are three types of observational studies – Prospective, retrospective, and cross-sectional.

6.8K
Regression toward the mean (“RTM”) is a phenomenon in which extremely high or low values—for example, and individual’s blood pressure at a particular moment—appear closer to a group’s average upon remeasuring. Although this statistical peculiarity is the result of random error and chance, it has been problematic across various medical, scientific, financial and psychological applications. In particular, RTM, if not taken into account, can interfere when...
