Although Asian Americans are at high risk for type 2 diabetes, it is not known whether they are appropriately screened for this disease.

To assess racial and ethnic disparities in diabetes screening between Asian Americans and other adults.

Analysis of pooled cross-sectional data from 45 U.S. states and territories using the 2012–2014 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. We calculated the weighted proportions of adults in each racial and ethnic group who received recommended diabetes screening. To assess for racial and ethnic disparities, we used multivariable logistic regression to model receipt of recommended diabetes screening as a function of race and ethnicity, adjusting for demographics, healthcare access, survey year, and state.
