SEARCH: The Study of Diabetes in Children
SEARCH is a study of diabetes in children that was done from 2002 to 2007. Over 9.000 children across the nation participated in the study. Participants were all diabetics under the age of 20. SEARCH for Diabetes in Children was conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in conjunction with the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
There were several goals of SEARCH. Some of the more noted goals were to determine the number of diabetic children and how diabetes in children was portioned according to ethnicity. Additionally, SEARCH wanted to identify how diabetes was affecting children in their daily lives, how the different types of treatments used were working and to identify common complications.
Many interesting statistics arose for the data collected that give doctors, scientists and pharmaceutical companies a better understanding of diabetes in children. The study showed that 215,000 children under twenty years of age have been diagnosed with diabetes. The mountain of data collected through this study helps researchers and health providers a great deal of beneficial knowledge for managing diabetes.
