Background: We evaluated the association of demographic and clinical characteristics with participation in an epidemiologic study of diabetes mellitus among youth.Methods: SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth is a multicenter study of physician-diagnosed diabetes in youth under the age of 20 comprising a surveillance and a cohort component. At each center, we enumerated all prevalent cases of diabetes in 2001 (n = 6266) and all incident cases between 2002 and 2004 (n = 3668). After confirmation of eligibility and validation. we invited each case to complete a survey and participate in a study visit. Here we evaluate how age, sex, race, and diabetes type are associated with participation in the survey and study visit.Results: Among prevalent cases, participation in the survey was 68% and 41% in the study visit. Among 2002 to 2004 incident cases, participation varied for the survey (76%. 81%, and 82%) and study visit (52%, 60%. and 60%). In multivariate logistic regression analyses among all incident cases, older age was associated with a lower odds of participation in the study visit (15-17 vs.
