CMCH Synopsis: 5 teens with diabetes created 8 hour video diaries over the course of a month. The adolescents recorded daily activities, how they managed their diabetes, personal monologues, and interviews with family and friends. The videos provided important information about their experience of diabetes, including the benefits of having their parents involved in their care and how their illness impacted the family as a whole. All of the adolescents reported feeling stigmatized by their peers. Females experienced more guilt over eating too much and not exercising than males. These results show that video diaries provide important information about the experience of illness that is otherwise unavailable to doctors. © Center on Media and Child Health
