Race and Religious Beliefs Are Associated With Communication Regarding Reproductive Health and Preconception Counseling in Young Women With Diabetes

Conclusion Race and religious beliefs should be considered when providing reproductive health information to young women with diabetes. Further research with a larger, more diverse sample is warranted. These results may be considered for future development of novel interventions with targeted messages based on these personal characteristics to empower young women to initiate conversations with HCPs about reproductive health and preconception counseling.
