Racial discrimination was reported more often by U.S. adults with diabetes than by those without diabetes, at 14.2% versus 12.5% in 2022–2023 BRFSS data.
- Why it matters: The study addresses whether diabetes status is linked to differential experiences of race-based treatment, which could affect chronic stress and diabetes self-management barriers.
- What they did: Using 2022–2023 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System responses from 328,056 adults in the Reactions to Race module, the authors compared “any” versus “none” discrimination across diabetes status with weighted prevalence and multivariable logistic regression.
- The result: Discrimination was associated with race and ethnicity, age, sex, employment, poor mental health, and current smoking in both adults with and without diabetes, supporting inclusion of racism-related exposures in diabetes disparity efforts.
