Protocol for the diabetes, distress and disparities (3D) study: an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Psychosocial factors impact diabetes outcomes, yet healthcare systems remain inadequately equipped to address these needs. Research centring on the experiences of people with diabetes (PWD) can inform programme implementation, policies and partnerships to address psychosocial care needs. The goals of the diabetes, distress and disparities (3D) study are to quantify the psychosocial care needs of PWD in a large academic medical centre, generate insights regarding how psychosocial factors shape diabetes outcomes and identify modifiable determinants of psychosocial care.

Methods and analysis

The 3D study is recruiting adults with type 1 (T1D), type 2 (T2D), latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) and gestational diabetes (GD) from the Caswell Diabetes Registry
