I am really pleased that Information avoidance by younger adults with Type 1 diabetes: a preliminary empirical study has now been published. Here is the full reference:

Ryan, B., & Webster, G. (2024). Information avoidance by younger adults with Type 1 diabetes: a preliminary empirical study. Information Research an International Electronic Journal, 29(3), 56–73. https://doi.org/10.47989/ir293701

The original inspiration for the research in this paper was my attendance of a presentation by Professor Gunilla Widén where she mentioned information avoidance. This struck a couple of chords with me: firstly, as a fledgling information scientist, the idea of avoiding information seemed puzzling. However, the second chord was my realisation that, for my own type 1 diabetes, information avoidance is exactly what I do!
