Assessing diabetes trends in children and adolescents in Florida
DP20-001 Using Real-world Data to Assess the Burden of Diabetes in Children and Adolescents in Florida
This study is looking at how many kids and teens in Florida are getting type 1 and type 2 diabetes, especially focusing on those who might not have easy access to care, so we can better understand the problem and create helpful health programs for them.

What this research studies
This research investigates the increasing rates of type 1 and type 2 diabetes among children and adolescents in Florida, focusing on the disparities in incidence and access to care. By utilizing real-world data, the study aims to establish a surveillance system that monitors diabetes onset in this vulnerable population. The goal is to identify trends and develop tailored public health programs to allocate healthcare resources effectively. This research addresses a significant gap in understanding diabetes prevalence in the southeastern United States, particularly in Florida.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research include children and adolescents living in Florida who are at risk for or diagnosed with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
Not a fit: Patients outside of Florida or those who do not fall within the age range of children and adolescents may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved public health strategies and better healthcare access for children and adolescents with diabetes.
How similar studies have performed: While there have been successful diabetes surveillance studies in other regions, this specific focus on Florida's children and adolescents is novel and untested.
