Recruiting Diabetic Patients for Online Studies | News

October 26, 2020

The Center for Lower Extremity Ambulatory Research (CLEAR) is recruiting diabetic participants for two online survey-based studies on physical activity and the diabetic foot. Help APMA raise awareness of the studies by displaying flyer one and flyer two at your practice and sharing them on your practice’s website and social media accounts.

Remember that November is Diabetes Awareness Month and APMA’s 2020 Diabetes Awareness Campaign, “Keep Your Appointment, Keep Your Feet,” kicks off next week. The campaign is designed to raise awareness and understanding of the need for people with diabetes to follow a regular regimen of foot care, including appointments with their podiatrist, during the pandemic.
