| Abstract |
This review summarizes the literature on care and outcome disparities in young adults (YA) with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and outlines remaining needs and suggestions to reduce disparities and improve care. Despite well-documented disparities and data from large national and international diabetes populations, the role that social determinants of health play in disease management is largely unstudied. Further, mechanisms of how these risk factors interact with the unique developmental needs of racial-ethnic minority and economically vulnerable young adults with diabetes remain unknown. Little intervention research has focused on improving outcomes in this vulnerable population. More research needs to focus on identifying and addressing risk factors in racial-ethnic minority and economically vulnerable young adults with diabetes. Interventions need to be adapted and developed to meet the unique needs of this high-risk population. Clinicians and healthcare systems must recognize the inequity in care and outcomes for this group and structure clinical programs and policies to promote their optimal care. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 16 July 2018.
All research outputs
#14,884,881
of 23,096,849 outputs
Outputs from Current Diabetes Reports
#623
of 1,016 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#195,385
of 327,152 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Current Diabetes Reports
#17
of 27 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,096,849 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,016 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.3. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 327,152 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 39th percentile – i.e., 39% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 27 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
