Participants were asked to self-report their predominant race and ethnicity during an interview-administered survey at DCCT baseline. The form that was used was created in 1982 and 1983 and included the following categories—American Indian or Alaskan Native, Asian or Pacific Islander, Hispanic, non-Hispanic Black, and non-Hispanic White. Race and ethnicity data were collected to describe the cohort. Diabetes-related and cardiovascular risk factors were assessed in EDIC participants and controls without diabetes by standardized methods.
