Dr Carolyn Lo, IPUR Research Fellow, presents her ongoing study on the effect of health and non-health beliefs on diabetes-related outcomes. The objectives of the study were to understand the beliefs that could negatively impact diabetes-related outcomes among individuals with type-2 diabetes and leverage findings to promote more effective care and treatment.
The study found that growth mindset and self-efficacy had a significant relationship with health outcomes – type-2 diabetes patients with less of a growth mindset and/or lower self-efficacy had poorer health outcomes.
