The Diabetes Assertiveness Test
Alan M. GrossWilliam G. Johnson
Abstract
A number of investigators have suggested that preadolescent insulin-dependent diabetics have a higher level of psychological adjustment problems than their non-diabetic peers. In this paper:

1. Social coping skill deficits are presented as a possible explanation for this phenomenon.

2. The development of a social coping skill tool, the Diabetes Assertiveness Test, is discussed.

3. Preliminary data suggesting social coping skills training as an adjunct to medical treatment is presented.

4. Lastly, the implications that social skills training raise in the treatment of insulin-dependent diabetes are discussed.
