Quality of life (QOL) measures have increasingly been considered as end-points of medical interventions. Both general QOL and health- and disease-specific quality of life can be assessed using well defined and validated questionnaires. The TEENs study is an international, cross-sectional study of youth with T1DM. 5,887 participants were followed in 20 countries across 5 continents. To assess disease and health related quality of life (D-HRQOL), participants completed the PedsQL Diabetes Module 3.0. Interestingly, the lower the HbA1c, the better the quality of life in youth and young adults with T1DM. Three diabetes-management behaviors were also related to optimal glycemic control, which represent potentially modifiable factors for clinical interventions to improve D-HRQOL as well as glycemic control.

PLoS ONE (2024)

The main objective of this qualitative analysis is to increase the quality of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) research education. Subject matter experts and stakeholders were sent a list of possible topics to include in a research course and were asked to comment on it, add or subtract topics, and suggest appropriate research papers to use, lessons learned in their topic areas and possible stand-alone topics for inclusion in other courses. Their feedback was used to revise the topic list, create a list of foundational research papers to include in a research course and devise a list of stand-alone topics that could be included in the general TCM research curriculum. The result is a TCM research course curriculum that will improve the teaching of evidence-based medicine (EBM) practices to TCM students. This will help TCM faculty and program directors improve existing courses, develop new courses and strengthen EBM education.
