Phone vs. mail: which gets more people to screen for type 1 diabetes?

NCT ID NCT07663136

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares two ways of inviting people to screen for type 1 diabetes at home: a simple email or letter versus a personal phone call. Researchers want to see which method leads more people to complete and return a home screening kit. Participants are adults and children aged 1 to 99 who are already part of the Indiana Biobank.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If one recruitment method proves far more effective, future screening programs could use that approach to identify more people at risk for type 1 diabetes earlier.

What could go wrong

This trial only measures how many people return a screening kit, not whether screening improves health outcomes. The results may not apply to populations outside the Indiana Biobank.
