Purpose(s) and Objectives(s) of the Research. Black adults continue to be disproportionately affected by type 2 diabetes. The high rates of type 2 diabetes are caused by a combination of social determinants of health factors that have led to many challenges unique to Black adults living with type 2 diabetes in Canada. Physical activity has been suggested as one of the lifestyle modification approaches to addressing the type 2 diabetes epidemic in Black adults in Canada.
The purpose of this project is to estimate the proportion (relative to the study sample) of Black adults living with type 2 diabetes in Canada who meet the Canadian Physical Activity Guideline of 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous aerobic physical activities per week.

Procedures. You will be asked to complete a questionnaire package hosted by SurveyMonkey (please see the following for more information on the SurveyMonkey Privacy Policy). After completing brief demographics questions, you will be asked to answer questions about your physical activity experiences as a Black adult living with type 2 diabetes. The questionnaire package should take 20 minutes to complete.
