ACBRD: a partnership for better health between Diabetes Victoria and Deakin University’s IHT

Diabetes is the world’s fastest-growing chronic condition. Around 4 in 5 people living with diabetes experience diabetes stigma - negative stereotypes that lead to discrimination - affecting their health, wellbeing, professional and social lives.
A long-running collaboration between Diabetes Victoria and Deakin University’s Institute for Health Transformation (IHT) is generating powerful research through the co-founded Australian Centre for Behavioural Research in Diabetes that has begun shifting perceptions around the condition, and driving behavioural change to improve the lives of the 1.5 million people who live with the condition in Australia.
