Background: Type 1 diabetes management is often challenging during adolescence, and many youth with type 1 diabetes struggle with sustained and optimal continuous glucose monitor (CGM) use. Due to racial oppression and racially discriminatory policies leading to inequitable access to quality healthcare and life necessities, racially minoritized youth are significantly less likely to use CGM.
Methods: ROUTE-T1D: Research on Optimizing the Use of Technology with Education is a pilot behavioral intervention designed to promote optimal CGM use among racially minoritized youth with type 1 diabetes. Intervention strategies include problem solving CGM challenges and promoting positive caregiver-youth communication related to CGM data.
Results: This randomized waitlist intervention provides participants with access to three telemedicine sessions with a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist. Caregiver participants are also connected with a peer-parent coach.
Conclusion: Hypothesized findings and anticipated challenges are discussed. Future directions regarding sustaining and optimizing the use of diabetes technology among racially minoritized pediatric populations are reviewed.

Purpose: Food insecurity is prevalent among patients with cancer. Gaps in our understanding of preferences for food assistance among Latino or Hispanic, immigrant, and people with multiple races and ethnicities limit uptake of food assistance interventions among these populations. We aimed to deeply understand the needs and preferences and barriers to food assistance intervention uptake among low-income, predominantly Latino or Hispanic, immigrant, and people with multiple races and ethnicities and cancer to inform development of tailored interventions.

ACT randomly selects and enrolls Kaiser Permanente Washington (KPWA) health plan members age ≥ 65 years. Historically, the cohort make up has been 88% non-Hispanic White participants.

School quality is linked to later life ADRD risk, but the benefit may vary across groups. We asked 1) whether the same high school social contexts and academic resources predict midlife cognitive functioning across race, ethnicity, and gender, and 2) how much could disparities in midlife cognitive function be narrowed if everyone had equal access to high quality high schools?
Method: Data was from the nationally representative High School and Beyond cohort, which prospectively followed 12,530 Americans from high school through age ∼60 and administered telephone- and web-based measures of memory, language, and attention in 2021-22.

Background: Minoritized groups are an understudied population in frontotemporal degeneration (FTD) research. Recently, we demonstrated distinct neuropsychiatric symptom profiles in Black relative to White individuals with FTD but cognition across these groups has not been reported. This knowledge gap has potential implications for the care of individuals with FTD from minoritized groups.
