To develop a position statement which identifies research priorities to address health inequalities in diabetes and provides recommendations to researchers and research funders on how best to conduct research in these areas.
A two-day research workshop was conducted bringing together research experts in diabetes, research experts in health inequalities, healthcare professionals and people living with diabetes.
The following key areas were identified as needing increased focus: How can we improve patient and public involvement and engagement to make diabetes research more inclusive of and relevant to diverse communities? How can we improve research design so that the people who could benefit most are represented? How can we use theories from implementation science to facilitate the uptake of research findings into routine practice to reach the populations with highest need? How can we collate and evaluate local innovation projects and disseminate best practice around tackling health inequalities in diabetes? How can we best collect and use data to address health inequalities in diabetes, including the harnessing of real-world and routinely collected data? How could research funders allocate funds to best address health inequalities in diabetes? How do we ensure the research community is representative of the general population?
This position statement outlines recommendations to address the urgent need to tackle health inequalities in diabetes through research and calls on the diabetes research community to act upon these recommendations to ensure future research works to eliminate unfair and avoidable disparities in health.
制定一份立场声明，确定解决糖尿病健康不平等问题的研究重点，并就如何在这些领域开展最佳研究向研究人员和研究资助者提供建议。
举办了为期两天的研究研讨会，汇聚了糖尿病研究专家、健康不平等研究专家、医疗保健专业人员和糖尿病患者。
确定了以下需要更多关注的关键领域：我们如何提高患者和公众的参与度，使糖尿病研究更具包容性并与不同社区相关？我们如何改进研究设计，以便让受益最大的人群得到体现？我们如何运用实施科学的理论，促进将研究结果应用于常规实践，以惠及最有需求的人群？我们如何整理和评估本地创新项目，并传播应对糖尿病健康不平等问题的最佳实践？我们如何最好地收集和使用数据来解决糖尿病健康不平等问题，包括利用真实世界和常规收集的数据？研究资助者应如何分配资金，以最佳方式解决糖尿病健康不平等问题？我们如何确保研究群体具有代表性？
本立场声明概述了通过研究解决糖尿病健康不平等迫切需求的建议，并呼吁糖尿病研究群体按照这些建议采取行动，以确保未来的研究致力于消除健康方面不公平和可避免的差距。
