# Can we screen children across Canada for risk of Type 1 Diabetes? Research is underway.
A series of research projects, starting soon, will explore the acceptability and feasibility of T1D screening for children in Canada. In 2026, a pilot T1D screening program will be launched to generate critical evidence that will help to inform future policy decisions and begin to map the essential steps for nationwide implementation.
# As primary health care professionals, your insights are essential in helping to shape this research.
