Course Description

Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) - Provider #21328, Activity #146707 approved for 1.50 CPEUs.

CPEU Course Description

Obesity is a major risk factor for diabetes, thus, correlates of obesity are likely targets for associations with diabetes.  As the public health burden of diabetes continues to rise, efforts to identify risk factors and stem the tide are needed.  This CPEU course examines whether child abuse and neglect are associated with diabetes, and if so, whether obesity mediated this relationship in a population-representative sample of young adults.
