The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the "Insul-In This Together" family program works to improve outcomes for adolescents living with type 1 diabetes. It will also learn about how the program influences diabetes-related factors, including parenting. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does this program improve glycemic (blood glucose) outcomes? Does this program improve adolescent quality of life related to diabetes? Researchers will offer the program to all participating families, with one group receiving the program right after enrollment and another group receiving the program 6 months later. Adolescent and parent participants will: Attend 8 weekly 30-minute videoconference sessions with an interventionist Complete online surveys, share diabetes device data, and conduct at-home A1c tests 3-5 times over a 12-month period
The proposed study is a nationwide randomized controlled trial with 200 adolescents ages 12-17 living with type 1 diabetes for at least six months who are US residents and their parents. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to either the intervention condition (offered the intervention immediately post-baseline) or the waitlisted control condition (offered the intervention after completing the 6-month follow-up). The primary outcome endpoint will be 3-month post-baseline, based on prior findings. This cross-over design will support recruitment and retention and offer all participants the opport…
Inclusion Criteria: * For adolescent participants: ages 12-17, diagnosed with type 1 diabetes for at least 6 months, US resident, English proficiency, and resides with the participating parent/caregiver. * For parent participants: residing with eligible and participating adolescent, US resident, and English proficiency. Exclusion Criteria: * Severe or pervasive physical or mental health condition that would limit participation in data collection or the intervention (e.g., pervasive developmental delays).
The "Insul-In This Together" intervention consists of eight weekly 30-minute sessions. Each adolescent-parent dyad (an adolescent with corresponding parent/caregiver) meets remotely with an interventionist (not in groups). The structure of adolescents and parents receiving the intervention as a single dyad (not in groups) offers space to discuss sensitive topics and flexibility to accommodate variability in families' schedules. Intervention content targets diabetes-related parental monitoring, involvement, and conflict with a focus on communication and problem-solving skills. Diabetes technology use is addressed related to shared goals, expectations, and communication based on each family's current use.
