Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Not a patient-facing study; results may benefit youth and young adults with diabetes through better surveillance and public health planning.
✕Less likely to help
Direct patient benefits may be limited to improved population health insights rather than individual interventions.
What this research studies
This grant supports the NYU Coordinating Center for the CASSIDY network, which focuses on harmonizing data and methods to monitor diabetes in people 44 and younger. The team will maintain a central data repository, enable secure data transmission, and provide statistical, epidemiological, and informatics expertise. They will develop and validate standardized surveillance measures and analytical approaches to generate unbiased diabetes trend estimates. The work builds on the DiCAYA Network’s success in creating computable phenotypes to identify diabetes type and incidence in youth and young adults. Overall, the project aims to improve how we monitor diabetes burden so clinicians and policymakers can respond more effectively.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Improved, timely understanding of diabetes trends in young people to inform care and policy.
How similar studies have gone: DiCAYA demonstrated the feasibility of large-scale EHR-based diabetes surveillance and computable phenotypes, informing this work.
