Relationship between caregiver knowledge and socioeconomic factors on glycemic outcomes of young children with diabetes.

PURPOSE
To describe the relationship between caregiver diabetes knowledge and socioeconomic factors on glycemic outcomes of young children with type 1 diabetes.


DESIGN AND METHODS
Seventy-three caregivers of children less than 9 years of age were conveniently sampled and completed the Michigan Diabetes Research and Training Center Diabetes Knowledge Test and a demographic questionnaire.


RESULTS
Higher caregiver knowledge was associated with lower hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels, higher income levels, and being married. Thirty-three (44%) children had HbA1c levels within the target range.


PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS
Perform ongoing knowledge assessments and educational interventions related to deficits, with a special focus on families in lower socioeconomic situations.
