Summary

Anyone who practices clinical medicine will understand that socially disadvantaged children will have worse health outcomes, no matter what the underlying condition might be. There is limited prospective data on the effects of social deprivation on children in BC and there is none concerning the effects of social deprivation on children with chronic diseases. In order to generate relevant data for those who manage children with chronic diseases in BC, the investigators wish to perform an observational study of the relationship between questionnaire-derived social variables and measured outcomes in children with cystic fibrosis, type 1 diabetes, and chronic kidney disease.

Our working hypothesis is that there is an association between social determinants of health (income, education, race) and health outcomes in children with cystic fibrosis, type 1 diabetes and chronic renal failure, that is independent of access to health care (assessed by distance to nearest specialty clinic and number of clinic visits in the last year).
