Popis: This study evaluated discrimination against children with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) in Swedish sports clubs through a field experiment. Two fictitious fathers sent emails to 193 top-division clubs in football, floorball, ice hockey, and handball, one disclosing his son's T1DM condition. The investigation focused on disparities in clubs' responses and the information provided. Results indicated no statistically significant difference in positive or comprehensive responses between emails mentioning T1DM and those that did not, though the observed differences in response rates suggest that limited statistical power may have obscured small but meaningful disparities. This highlights the need for cautious interpretation and further study.
