There is a new study at the University of South Florida that adolescents and young adults can participate in from anywhere in the US.  It is being done by the Type 1 Diabetes Mindfulness Study Team at their Adolescent and Young Adult Anxiety Lab.  They are recruiting around 40 adolescents and young adults ages 12-19 years old who have T1D for at least 6 months to participate in a research study to evaluate a new mindfulness-based stress reduction app.  Weekly topics in the app include guided body scan, meditation, yoga, and breathing exercises.  Within each week there are daily guided meditation practices of 10-15 minutes.  The total time commitment for completing the application would be 8 hours over 8 weeks. Participants receive $80 for their participation.  If you are interested, please fill out the survey with this link, and a member of the research team will reach out to you:   https://usf.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5BDu2k0xgvBsv7o
