The PSAD-NL working group represents the Dutch chapter of the European PSAD, one of the working groups of the EASD (www.psad-easd.eu). PSAD-NL aims to promote awareness of the psychosocial aspects of diabetes, improve the quality of psychosocial research in diabetes, and promote knowledge of effective psychosocial interventions in diabetes care.
To this end, we actively seek communication between researchers and clinicians. The PSAD sessions during the annual ADDRM meeting provide an excellent platform for substantive discussion and knowledge exchange. The PSAD-NL board is formed by:
Senior researcher in diabetes psychology

Clinical psychologist and researcher
S.D.Huisman@lumc.nl
Epidemiologist and biomedical scientist
