Document: There is a dearth of research to identify sex-related differences in risk perception of type 2 diabetes onset among college students. Studying whether male and female students perceive type 2 diabetes differently is important because it has been reported that women who have family members or friends with diabetes have a greater perceived risk for the disease, whereas only a family history of diabetes contributes to greater per-ceived risk for men (19) . If differences in risk perception do exist between male and female college students, these differences must be identified and better understood to develop sex-specific interventions to influence men's and women's risk perception (20) of type 2 diabetes onset.
