Sutherland MW, Ma X, Reboussin BA, et al. - This study was undertaken to investigate the contribution of multiple indicators of social need to these inequities. Researchers included 222 youth and young adults (YYA) with type 1 diabetes enrolled in the SEARCH Food Insecurity Study in South Carolina and Washington between the years 2013‐2015. They applied latent class analysis to distinguish socioeconomic profiles based on household income, parental education, health insurance, household food insecurity, and food assistance.
