Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Standard Care

* Routine diabetes support and education from diabetes health care team
* Assistance from a non-medical case manager (Care Ambassador) to schedule appointments, provide reminders about appointments, and help families contact health care providers about questions or concerns

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

Care Plus

* Routine diabetes support and education from diabetes health care team
* Assistance from a non-medical case manager (Care Ambassador) to schedule appointments, provide reminders about appointments, and help families contact health care providers about questions or concerns

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Care Ambassador Intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Care Ambassador provides additional monthly outreach (by phone or e-mail) to families between clinic visits.

Care Ultra

* Routine diabetes support and education from diabetes health care team
* Assistance from a non-medical case manager (Care Ambassador) to schedule appointments, provide reminders about appointments, and help families contact health care providers about questions or concerns

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Care Ambassador Intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Care Ambassador provides additional monthly outreach (by phone or e-mail) to families between clinic visits.

Psychoeducational Intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

A psychoeducational intervention module is reviewed with the family by the Care Ambassador at each clinic visit. The intervention focuses on incorporating intensive therapy into the daily routine of the child through positive family support for blood glucose monitoring and healthy eating. The intervention modules review positive family communication, realistic expectations, ways to avoid perfectionism and maintain family involvement, prevention of hypoglycemia, avoidance of diabetes-specific family conflict, and approaches to reducing "diabetes burnout".
