Primary outcomePrimary: Problem Areas in Diabetes Survey - Parent Revised (PAID-PR) — 32.65; 39.69 units on a scale
Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new intervention (CARES: Cognitive Adaptations to Reduce Emotional Stress Associated with Type 1 Diabetes) designed to reduce caregiver depressive symptoms in families of children with T1D. This is a pilot in which all enrolled parents/caregivers will be placed in the intervention group to assess initial pre- to post-treatment impact of the intervention on parent/caregiver depression, distress, and diabetes-related outcomes (e.g., glycemic control).
