These include identifying type 1 diabetes earlier so that children can be started on treatment sooner and do not get too unwell.\n\nThe ELSA 2 study is screening children aged 2-17 years for type 1 diabetes.\n\nTaking part involves a simple finger prick test.\n\nYou can choose to do the test at home, at school, at your doctors or in community centres near you.\n\nIf the test is negative, your child will not need any more tests in the ELSA Study.\n\nIf your child’s test is positive, you will need to come into the hospital at a convenient time to have some more tests, including some more blood tests.\n\nIf the test is positive, your child will be invited to come to the hospital to have some more tests to confirm if your child is at high risk.\n\nWe understand it may be distressing for the family to find out that your child is at risk of developing type 1 diabetes.\n\nThe ELSA study team are here to support families with this information.\n\nYour family will be invited to an education session so we can explain what this risk means for your child's future and what the available options are.\n\nFor example, you can choose to enter your child into a monitoring program so we can do more regular checkups, and we'll let you know about studies that may help delay the start of type 1 diabetes.\n\nEvery family who takes part in the ELSA Study will be helping us to understand more about type 1 diabetes.\n\nIf you would like to take part in the ELSA Study or find out more information, please visit our website or contact the ELSA Study team.\n\nThank you.",[114],{"title":115,"url":24,"external":26,"target":26,"gaEvent":116},"See all animations","Nav: Taking Part",{"type":118,"section_settings":119,"settings":121,"cards":124,"text":157,"sectionSettings":158},"text_and_cards",{"sectionLabel":120},"Links to other pages",{"alignCardContent":91,"align":91,"wholeClickable":26,"headerLevel":122,"cardTheme":95,"numberedCards":26,"maxCardsPerRow":122,"headerFontSize":123,"alignCards":91},"3","4",[125,138,148],{"type":126,"image":127,"title":131,"summary":132,"links":133},"card_image_text",{"url":128,"width":129,"height":130},"ELSA-card-image 19@2x.png",720,360,"Thinking of taking part","Click here to open the patient information tool (opens in a new tab)",[134],{"title":135,"url":136,"external":20,"target":20,"gaEvent":137},"Patient Information Tool","https:\u002F\u002Felsa-3-info.digitrial.com\u002F","Nav: Elsa Information Tool",{"type":126,"image":139,"title":141,"summary":142,"links":143},{"url":140,"width":129,"height":130},"ELSA-card-image 9@2x.png","Ready to take part","Click here if you are ready to consent (opens in a new tab)",[144],{"title":145,"url":146,"target":20,"external":20,"gaEvent":147},"Consent form","https:\u002F\u002Fredcap.link\u002FThe_ELSA_Study","Nav: Consent your child",{"type":126,"image":149,"title":151,"summary":152,"links":153},{"url":150,"width":129,"height":130},"ELSA-card-image 8@2x.png","Want to get in touch","Click here if you would like to contact the study team",[154],{"title":155,"url":156},"Contact form","\u002Fcontact","\u003Ch2 class=\"sr-only\">Links to other pages\u003C\u002Fh2>",{"textAlign":91,"sectionLabel":120},{"type":89,"section_settings":160,"settings":162,"text":163,"image":164,"sectionSettings":168,"links":170,"title":176},{"textAlign":91,"sectionLabel":161},"T1DRA",{"imgWidth":94,"imgPosition":87,"textPosition":91},"If you are an adult and would like to take part in a study screening for type 1 diabetes you can find out more here.",{"url":165,"width":166,"height":167},"ELSA-study-content-image 24@2x.png",450,142,{"sectionLabel":169},"Adult screening study",[171],{"icon":172,"iconPosition":106,"link":174},{"iconSize":173},"sm",{"url":175,"title":161,"target":20,"external":20},"https:\u002F\u002Ft1dra.bristol.ac.uk\u002F","## Adult screening study",{"type":178,"section_settings":179,"text":182,"logos":183,"maxLogosPerRow":220,"sectionSettings":221},"text_and_logos",{"textAlign":180,"sectionLabel":181},"center","Organisation logos","A special thank you to all of the parents, carers and young people who have contributed to the design and delivery of the ELSA Study.",[184,187,190,193,196,199,202,205,208,211,214,217],{"url":185,"alt":11,"width":84,"height":186},"elsa-2-logos-birmingham-grey@2x.png",471,{"url":188,"alt":189,"width":84,"height":186},"elsa-2-logos-diabetes-uk-grey@2x.png","Diabetes UK, Know Diabetes, Fight Diabetes",{"url":191,"width":84,"height":186,"alt":192},"elsa-2-logos-breakthrough-t1d-grey@2x.png","Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF) -
