DAWN Youth key findings

The DAWN™ Youth surveys generated new knowledge and insights of the unique challenges of childhood diabetes amongst governments, health organisations, professionals, families and policy makers.

Five global DAWN™ Youth goals were identified to address the insights:

  • improve access to age appropriate care, education and psychosocial support
  • improve support from schools
  • improve peer support
  • improve educational and psychosocial support for parents and families
  • address childhood obesity and type 2 diabetes
