a

Model controlled for SEARCH study site, time elapsed between baseline and follow-up visits as well as variables presented in the table.

b

Not private group consists of n = 23 (74%) publically insured and n = 8 (26%) uninsured.

c

Have a comorbidity: presence of at least 1 of the following physician-diagnosed conditions (as reported by study participants): asthma, polycystic ovarian disease, kidney disease, celiac disease, or hypertension.

d

Leave pediatrics by follow-up: participant reporting that primary diabetes provider is an adult-trained physician at the follow-up visit.
