Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The DEBBI study is a longitudinal online survey that aims to comprehensively characterise eating disorders and its manifestations in type 1 diabetes, to identify key diabetes-specific, psychosocial risk factors and protective factors for disordered eating behaviours and eating disorders, and to describe the course of disordered eatin behaviours over time. Results will provide more clarity in the so far inconsistent empirical evidence base and will help to inform research on prevention and intervention strategies that are tailored to diabetes-specific needs. At four time points, participants complete the following validated questionnaires: Diabetes Self-Management Questionnaire-Revised (German version), GOLD score (German version), Hypoglycemia Fear Survey-II, short form (German version), Problem Areas in Diabetes (German version), International Physical Activity Questionnaire (German version), Eating style questionnaire [Fragebogen zum Ernährungsstil], Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire-8 (German version), Intuitive Eating Scale-2 (German version, one subscale), Perceived Stress Scale (German version), Brief COPE (German version), Locus of control scale [Skala Internale-Externale-Kontrollüberzeugugen], Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (German version), Patient Health Questionnaire-8 (German version), State-Traite Anxiety Inventory (German version, Traite subscale), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (German version), Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (German version). We use self-generated items to gather information on diabetes self-management, insulin therapy, insulin doses, HbA1c levels, diabetes technology use, glycaemic variability, participation in structured patient education programmes, acute and long-term diabetes complications, hypoglycaemia-related disinhibited eating, insulin overdosing, number of diets, snacking, tobacco and alcohol consumption, demographics, weight, height, and comorbid physical/mental health diagnosis and treatment.
