NCT ID NCT07317973
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will design and test web-based decision aids for parents in Canada considering screening their children for type 1 diabetes. Researchers will work with parents and experts to create the tools, then test them in online studies with 350 participants. The goal is to see if the aids improve knowledge and reduce uncertainty about screening decisions.
