December 06, 2024 • Sanofi US General Medicines Medical • Season 1 • Episode 14

In this episode, we will feature a compelling discussion with Dr. Teresa Quattrin, MD on addressing the challenges posed by social determinants of health in the screening process for Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). Our MSL co-hosts, Anil Jacob, PharmD, and Mary Voelmle, NP, CDCES, engage Dr. Quattrin in an insightful conversation about breaking down barriers and overcoming challenges faced by under-resourced communities. Dr. Quattrin sheds light on key obstacles and attitudes healthcare providers may encounter, especially when discussing T1D screening among racial and ethnic minority populations. We conclude by providing actionable strategies and resources that our listeners can utilize to narrow the healthcare disparity gap. This includes practical guidance on how to approach patients and their families regarding education on T1D screening.
