What would I be doing?

Opportunities to contribute in many ways are available, including participation in other committees, focus groups, presentations and much more. Activities include, but are not limited to: Sharing your knowledge, views and experiences to help shape CanScreen T1D’s research. Reviewing and providing feedback on CanScreen T1D communications and research materials (for example, participant consent forms, community engagement plans, recruitment strategies). Helping to develop strategies for community outreach and involvement, offering guidance on how best to engage with diverse communities. Serving as a bridge between CanScreen T1D and community partners, ensuring that all voices are heard and meaningfully integrated into the research. There may also be opportunities to participate in project-specific work. For a list of our projects, please refer to the Our Research page on our website.

What is community engagement?

Community engagement is defined as the process of meaningfully involving communities impacted by research findings in the research process. Community engagement is important for improving the way research is prioritized, communicated and used in real-life settings ( Han et al., 2021 ). CanScreen T1D is committed to engaging a wide range of communities to ensure its research activities, including the pilot screening program, are informed by, understood by and relevant to those affected.

Can adults get screened for T1D through the CanScreen T1D screening program?

At this time, the pilot CanScreen T1D screening program is designed for children. We are looking to launch the screening program officially for children in Canada, and we hope that our research findings and program design can be used to launch similar T1D screening programs, e.g. for adults, in the future.

When will the CanScreen T1D screening program begin?

Given our ongoing efforts to make the screening programs national and diverse, we are expecting our pilot screening program to start in the year 2026. You can stay in the loop by following us on our social media platforms and signing up for our newsletter .
