Understanding inequities in access to diabetes technologies in children and young people with type 1 diabetes: Qualitative study of healthcare professionals' perspectives and views
Our findings suggest that without targeted interventions, technology inequities may continue to persist amongst CYP from the most and least deprived areas and from white and ethnic minority groups in the United Kingdom. Additionally, our findings suggest that closing the technology gap will require large-scale governmental and health policies aimed at fostering socioeconomic, ethnic and cultural equality alongside targeted measures to improve technology accessibility.
