BEAD-T1D: Building the Evidence to Address Disparities in Type 1 Diabetes
Youth from low socioeconomic groups are at a systematic disadvantage in the provision of diabetes care, particularly diabetes technology which is associated with improvement in diabetes-specific outcomes. Thus, the type 1 diabetes community urgently need studies to understand and ameliorate the persistent worsening of disparities of diabetes management and outcomes in youth from low socioeconomic backgrounds. This proposed research will (1) improve representation of diverse youth in the literature, (2) address the gap in knowledge of barriers and promoters in publicly insured youth, and (3) identify and address factors of worsening disparity in diabetes technology.
Stanford is currently accepting patients for this trial.

Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
The investigators will include youth aged 12-21 years in this study. The lower limit of 12
years was selected as this is the age when youth are able to understand and reflect on the
topics discussed in the survey measures and focus groups, such as perceived discrimination.
The upper limit of 21 years was selected as this is the upper limit of public payer
coverage (for example, California Children's Services). This aim focuses specifically on
the family (youth and parent/guardian) factors that determine diabetes technology use and
thus requires that youth are living with their parent/guardian in order to be included in
this study. For youth under 18, the investigators will obtain both parental permission and
youth assent to participate in the study. For those older than 18, the investigators will
obtain consent from the youth alone.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Diabetes diagnosis in youth other than type 1
- T1D youth less than the age of 12 or older than 21
- non-public payer insurance
- caregivers not living with the youth with type 1 diabetes
