Description/Mission Statement:
The Diabetes Special Interest Group is designed to be a forum for Society of Behavioral Medicine members with an interest in the advancement of behavioral and psychological research in diabetes. Our goals are to: 1) increase the presence of high-quality behavioral medicine research in diabetes at the SBM conference; 2) encourage interdisciplinary collaboration among researchers, clinicians, educators, and public health advocates that emphasizes the importance of the prevention and treatment of diabetes; and 3) support professional networking and the training of young investigators and students interested in diabetes research. These goals will be accomplished through the collaborative development of submissions for the SBM conference, organization of meetings and symposia, communication through our listserv, and other activities that will evolve.
