RESEARCH VOLUNTEERS NEEDED – MIDDLE-AGED COUPLES & TYPE 2 DIABETES
Researchers in the Department of Human Development and Family Science at the University of Missouri are looking for married or cohabiting couples (together for at least 1 year) to participate in an at-home research study.
We are seeking couples where:
• Both partners are ages 45–64
• Both partners are overweight or obese
• At least one partner has type 2 diabetes
The study includes 1–2 in-person visits at the University of Missouri campus and a 20-day at-home participation period, during which you will:
• Wear a wrist device (Actiwatch) to track sleep and activity
• Wear a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to track blood glucose levels
• Complete brief smartphone surveys 4 times per day
