SCREEN for Type 1 Diabetes Act of 2024

HR 8698, the SCREEN for Type 1 Diabetes Act of 2024, directs the CDC to launch a national public awareness campaign about type 1 diabetes detection and screening. The campaign will provide written materials on early symptoms and screening benefits, develop public service announcements across media platforms, and distribute culturally competent resources to healthcare providers, schools, and public health departments. It specifically targets communities with rising type 1 diabetes incidence and requires consultation with health organizations and affected communities. The bill authorizes $5 million annually from 2025-2029 to fund this campaign and mandates a report to Congress on its impact one year after enactment.
