Primary outcomePrimary: Feasibility of Study Design - Recruitment Rate — 84 Participants

Summary

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) management is particularly challenging during adolescence as responsibility for management begins to shift from parents to youth, and positive family teamwork is critical to achieving optimal diabetes outcomes. Existing behavioral family interventions for T1D are beneficial but have limited potential for translation to clinical practice, and universal preventive approaches designed to explicitly promote existing T1D management strengths are needed. Ultimately, the goal of this line of research is to validate brief, convenient, and helpful tools that families of all adolescents with T1D can use to strengthen positive family teamwork and ultimately promote optimal diabetes health outcomes.
