Introduction and Objective: Latine youth with T1D, particularly those with limited English fluency, experience significant health disparities. It is unclear whether researchers specifically consider youth with T1D from diverse cultural backgrounds when developing and testing new treatments. This study examined whether interventions met cultural adaptation standards for Latine and Spanish-speaking populations. Methods: We conducted a systematic review on clinical trials of psychosocial interventions for youth with T1D published between 2000-2025. Articles that met criteria (N=23) were evaluated using the Cultural Adaptation Checklist (CAC). CAC scores indicated to what extent studies used methods that were fully (“yes”), somewhat (“partial”), or not (“no”) culturally adapted and inclusive. Results: Less than 25% of studies reported partnering with communities (22%) and using diverse recruitment methods (17%), and no trials included translated materials. Over 40% fully or partially incorporated community contextual factors (70%), considered cultural values in goal formation (43%), and trained team members in cultural awareness (95%). Conclusion: Psychosocial interventions for youth with T1D rarely meet the language and cultural needs of Spanish-speaking families. To address health disparities, intervention developers and researchers should strive to proactively partner with this community in advance when building and testing new treatments. Disclosure R.L.
