The interprofessional team found that engaging patient’s in the research process is essential as it creates self-awareness, increases a collective understanding of needs and views, and allows for active participation in healthcare decisions. This stakeholder driven project aimed to develop a patient-centered research model to identify stakeholders of type 1 diabetes (T1D) for addressing the needs of patients and families in rural communities.
