Media and Type 1 Diabetes

A proposal for working in deprived communities

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book is the result of research carried out in municipalities in the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil, to help publicise the symptoms of Type 1 Diabetes, detect possible cases early in communities and strengthen perseverance in the treatment of those with the disease. The project brought together three areas: social communication, mainly through social media; health education, through expert guidance on Type 1 Diabetes; and community work, as communities came together to discuss issues relating to the disease, identify challenges and point out possible solutions. The interaction with young patients was extremely important for them to understand the need to follow the treatment correctly. The changes seen in the communities reached by the prophet became visible in the very action of the communities in continuing to bring the issue up for debate, even after the research was completed. The project became known as "DiabeteStation" and reached people in Brazil and abroad through its aim of bringing safe and reliable information about Type 1 Diabetes.
