Are you Métis or First Nations?

Do you Have Type 2 diabetes?

Or

Do you know somebody who has Type 2 diabetes in your family or community?

If so, you may be able to participate in a study about urban First Nations, Métis, health service providers and policy makers’ understandings of susceptibility to diabetes.

I am a student who would like to talk to you about your experiences and understandings around diabetes.

Participation is voluntary. Volunteers must be over 18 years of age or older, and has been living in an Eastern Ontario urban centre for last 2 years. Interviews may last around 60 minutes.

While being in this study will not benefit you directly, the information you provide may contribute in developing improved prevention and management of diabetes for urban Métis and First Nations peoples in future.

You will receive CAN$ 20 for your participation
