The aim of the present study is to determine similarities between patients with type 2 diabetes not on metformin therapy compared to patients on metformin therapy at a resident-led primary care clinic.

- The study investigates digital access interventions designed to enhance engagement with an online smoking cessation program among rural adults, who generally have lower access to such resources.
