Feasibility of caregiver diabetes distress screening in routine clinical care of youth with type 1 diabetes
Authors' conclusion
Clinic caregiver DD screening was implemented with higher response rates in person; however, expanding in-person screening to all eligible caregivers is necessary. Furthermore, since the PAID-PR was in English, some caregivers with DD were likely missed. Future directions include screening in additional languages.
