Cognitive Interviews: Advertisements placed online and shared via social media networks, DiabetesUK and Breakthrough T1D with invite young people aged 12 to 25 interested in taking part to contact Karen Rigby via email.

The interviews will be analysed and appropriate changes to the survey will be made.
