Summary

The purpose of this research study is to find out more about how to support young adults (ages 18-22) with type 1 diabetes as they prepare to transition from pediatric and adult endocrinology medical care.

Detailed description

The overarching goal of the proposed trial is to improve diabetes self-management and glycemic control in young adults and prepare them for the transition to adult endocrinology. The current application will investigate the impact of a multisystem transition preparation intervention for young adults (ages 18-22) with T1D. Twenty-five young adults and a parent will be enrolled in a 6-month transition preparation program which will use a hybrid in-person and technology delivery structure. Providers will receive training highlighting their role preparing young adults for transition and provides practical tips to use in their communication with young adults. If effective, this multisystem intervention, designed to enhance T1D self-management and increase young adults' readiness for transition to adult healthcare during this critical developmental period, has the potential to inform clinical practice guidelines.
