    Description

    In Belgium, about 15 centres are recognised for the treatment of diabetes in youth. Through regular data collections, the IQECAD project monitors quality of care in these centres and provides individualised feedback, helping the centres to improve their quality of care. Recently a continuous study within IQECAD has started to measure the mental wellbeing of children and adolescents with diabetes (the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, SDQ). Patients are asked to fill in a questionnaire.

    Target population: children and adolescents (< 19 years old) with Type I Diabetes.

    Data collection started in 2008 and is still ongoing. Linkage is possible with IQED, IQED-Foot, IMA and NR
