Importance of caregivers' subjective social status and neighbourhood disadvantage for adolescents with type 1 diabetes
Authors' conclusion
Given strong associations between caregivers' SSS and glycaemic control, diabetes management, and diabetes distress, screening for caregivers' SSS may identify adolescents who would benefit from additional support.
Study context
- Population
- Adolescents aged 13–17 with T1D experiencing moderate diabetes distress (58% female, 58% White, non-Hispanic), and their caregivers
- Participants
- 198 adolescents
- Outcome
- Associations of socio-economic status indicators with diabetes outcomes
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
- Higher neighbourhood disadvantage (area deprivation index (ADI)) significantly associated with higher HbA1c and average glucose
- Caregivers' subjective social status (SSS) more strongly associated with all glycaemic indicators, diabetes management and diabetes distress
Observational data: associations, not effects.
