Type 1 Diabetes Screening

연구 개요

This study examines how population-based screening for type 1 diabetes (T1D) using islet autoantibodies (i.e., immune system proteins) can be incorporated into pediatric primary care during routine well-child visits. The project evaluates whether this screening approach is feasible, acceptable, and appropriate for clinicians, parents, and other key constituent groups. The study also explores how often clinicians order the test and how often families complete it when integrated into existing workflows. Insights from parents, clinicians, and organizational leaders will inform future scale-up efforts and practical strategies to improve early detection of T1D in pediatric practices across the United States.
