Accessibility of treatment and resources for gestational diabetes in Sedgwick county -- In Proceedings: 21st Annual Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity Forum. Wichita, KS: Wichita State University, p. 21
Abstract
Gestational diabetes is diabetes in pregnant women. These women have an
increased risk of fetal and maternal complication. Women with gestational diabetes need
to have access to treatment and resources that will decrease these risks and help create
healthier lifestyles for these individuals. Sedgwick County’s resources and accessibility
for women with gestational diabetes are assessed in the study. Interviews are conducted
at several clinics and facilities that potentially have resources for gestational diabetes.
They consist of a series of questions for the clinic’s representative. The questions consist
of the treatment plan, cost, accepted insurance, availability, and educational process for
patients. This will assess what the clinic has available for patients. The assessment is
needed to provide an insight on the places that patients have access to and can receive
adequate treatment for their condition in Sedgwick County. All of these elements that are
asked about would be analyzed by evaluating them and concluding the accessibility in
this specific county. The results are pending, and no conclusions can be made at this
stage in the research.
