The PSAD Study Group is a network of more than 200 members around the world, extending across Europe, USA, Australia and South America.

Our members are united in their common interest in the psychosocial aspects of diabetes, and include researchers from many disciplines, clinicians, and people living with diabetes.

Our mission is to:

• stimulate communication between researchers and clinicians in the field of psychosocial aspects of diabetes
• improve the quality of psychosocial research in diabetes
• stimulate dissemination and implementation of effective psychosocial interventions in diabetes care.

We have longstanding relationships with diabetes associations, research centres and industry partners across the globe, and we act as a reference group for the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in matters related to the psychological, social and behavioural aspects of (living with) diabetes.

We convene annual scientific meetings, as well as other events and symposia, that are designed to promote the quality and impact of psychosocial research in diabetes.
