CONTACT INFORMATION: dswain at nccu.edu (919-530-7502;919-833-9028) *Please contact us to be featured next!* ------------------------------ *Q&A* The Q&A section is dedicated research-related question answering. If you have any questions, please send it to us and we will post it on our social media and the next issue of SIG/HLTH newsletter. If you would like to answer a question or provide resources, please contact us and we will update our social media and newsletter accordingly. An example question and answers are as follows: *Q from Si:* Can you give me some suggestions on how to reach a vulnerable population, such as children with type 1 diabetes? I have tried recruiting online, but people do not trust me. *A from Lucy:* You can perhaps visit local clinics and ask for help from doctors there. *A from Emily:* Try going to local anonymous support groups. It is perhaps easier to build rapport face-to-face, and you can have a closer look of the population of interest. It is best to contact the group coordinators first to make sure that you have permission to attend the support groups. People within the support group may be upset if someone attends who does not identify as being part of that group. I think being up front will help build that trust. *A from Deborah*: Contact local chapters of the national Diabetes Association for healthcare professionals and patients to network with and invite to research study. National website is: www.diabetes.org Also, Public Libraries are so important today for patrons and community visitors to make health queries, and librarians provide excellent references to web sites, publications, and groups. I recommend requesting opportunity to post information (online and on physical bulletin boards) and possibly to hold an information session with local health care panel at public library. *Please send us your questions and help others with your ideas!* ------------------------------ *Contacts* Si Sun, Chair sisun at rutgers.edu Emily Vardell, Chair-Elect/Secretary, New Leader Awardee (2014-2015) evardell at email.unc.edu Nancy K.
