<p dir="ltr"><a href="" target="_blank">This study used data from the T1D Exchange Quality Improvement Collaborative to compare depression rates in youth with type 1 diabetes before and during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and identify characteristics of individuals with moderate-to-severe depressive symptoms</a>. Rates of moderate-to-severe depressive symptoms remained stable before and during the pandemic, at 9.6–10.7%. During the pandemic, youth who screened positive for depression were more likely to be female and on public insurance, to have a higher A1C, and to have a history of diabetic ketoacidosis or severe hypoglycemia. They were less likely to identify as non-Hispanic White and more likely to identify as Hispanic.</p>
