About this study

In plain language

This study tests whether a learning app is practical and useful for school nurses who care for students with type 1 diabetes. It aims to improve nurses’ knowledge of diabetes devices and confidence in using them. Nurses will take surveys before and after a 16-week course.

The goal of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a school nurse focused e-Learning application to improve their diabetes device knowledge and confidence. School nurses will be asked to complete pre-/post-surveys around a 16-week curriculum.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
