Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This study will examine whether or not adolescent girls from New Mexico and West Texas diagnosed with T1DM longer than one year are more likely to be affected with mental health issues than their male counterparts and to ascertain the impact of these issues on glycemic control. Participants will be screened for mental health symptoms using three brief instruments currently used in general practice. Additionally, youth reported self-efficacy and parenting styles will be assessed. The identified instruments are widely used in pediatric clinical and research settings and are appropriate for this age group. Upon completion of each screening the appropriate follow up care or referral for services will be completed in the interest of patient care. A chart review will be conducted at enrollment to obtain demographic information and a history of diabetes management and care, then again at 12 months after the enrollment.
Significance: This will be the first study to screen for depression, anxiety, and trauma mental health symptoms in youth with T1DM within the west Texas - eastern New Mexico geographic region served by Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC). Additionally, self-reported parenting behaviors and parenting styles will be identified. Gender and racial differences among the participants will be analyzed with respect to parent reported parenting style. The robust Latino population, combined with the rural community setting provides a unique perspective regarding measured outcomes. Furthermore, amidst the wave of implementation of trauma-informed care services across the United States, the field calls for a closer look at the traumatic experiences resulting from type I diabetes complications, many of which can be life threatening, and have been found to lead to traumatic stress symptomatology. The data collected in this study may serve to inform future directions regarding screening protocols and interventions created to address these issues and subsequently impact diabetes control and complications among this population.
Aim: This study aims to assess mental health symptoms and self-efficacy in youth with T1DM receiving care in the TTUHSC pediatric endocrine clinic. Furthermore the study seeks to analyze the relationships among mental health, parent-reported parenting styles and youth-reported self-efficacy regarding self-care and diabetes management. Gender and racial differences will be discussed.
Hypotheses: Adolescent females are more likely to be affected with mental health symptoms than their male counterparts. Positive mental health screens will be associated with lower self-efficacy regardless of parenting style. Authoritative style parenting will be associated with higher self-efficacy, fewer positive mental health screenings, and encounters of diabetes complications. Authoritative style parenting will be positively associated with diabetes control. Authoritarian style parenting will be associated with lower self-efficacy, positive mental health screenings. Authoritarian and permissive style parenting will be associated with poor diabetes control, and encounters of diabetes complications. Lastly, those who seek mental health services will see improvement with diabetes control (defined by hemoglobin A1C levels equal or less than 8.5%) and will be less likely to present to the emergency room, require hospital admission due to DKA or other complications of T1DM.
Study Design and Methods: On May 17th, 2016 the study received IRB approval. Once the trial gets registered on ClinicalTrials.Gov, participants will be recruited for enrollment into the study.
Procedures: 1) Study Coordinator will be notified of potential study participants presenting to the pediatric endocrine clinic. 2) If the patient meets inclusion criteria for the study, the coordinator will ask for consent/assent to participate. 3) Demographic Information will be obtained: age at diabetes diagnosis, number of year since diagnosis, gender, zip code, race/ethnicity, maternal education, insurance type, length of residence at current home, anticipated housing relocation, length of employment at current job, anticipated parental job changes, previous mental health screenings and interventions, number of previous DKA episodes per year, diabetes control over time by looking at HbA1C measurements during admissions to the hospital or during office follow up. 4) Mental Health Screen/Assessment - Study participants will be screened for mental health symptoms using the following screening instruments: Patient Health Questionnaire for Depression (PHQ - 9), Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED), University of California Los Angeles (UCLA PTSD) Reaction Index - abbreviated version, Youth participants will also complete the Self-Efficacy for Diabetes Self-Management scale (SEDM), a parent will complete the self-reported Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ). 5) Follow Up to Assessment: If patient indicates thoughts of self-harm or suicide ideation on question 9 of the PHQ-9, then the C-SSRS Screener version with triage points risk assessment will be conducted to determine if Emergency room follow up is necessary. Actively suicidal patients will be referred to the emergency room (ER) for immediate evaluation as per standard of care. Those non suicidal patients but with a positive mental health screening(s) will be provided with referral and resource information including a list of mental health providers if desired. 6) Initial data will be entered and de-identified in the data base, hard copies will be kept in order to properly match the participants after the chart review. 7) Twelve months after the initial mental health screening a chart review will be conducted to collect the following information: Hemoglobin A1C levels in the preceding 12 months ii, number of follow up visits with pediatric endocrinology, number of ER visits, number of hospital admissions, number of DKA episodes, suicidal Ideation or suicidal Attempts (SA), Non-Suicidal self-injury (NSSI), number of visits to mental health providers (If unable to obtain this information through their medical chart, then individual mental health providers-from the list provided on initial screening - will be contacted to obtain the number of visits during the preceding 12 months). Data will be entered and de-identified for analysis. At this time any hard copies of the assessments will be destroyed.
Statistical Analysis: All demographic data will be expressed as mean + SD and frequencies (%). The differences between males and females will be analyzed using the Student's t-test for continuous data and with Chi Square for categorical data during the initial analysis. A two-tailed p value of \<0.05 will be considered statistically significant. Additional analyses will include ANOVA or MANOVA or a regression model during the full analysis. The latest SPSS software version will used for statistical analysis

Adolescents with T1DM
Adolescents with type I Diabetes Mellitus diagnosed for at least one year will be screened for mental health symptoms with the PHQ9, SCARED and UCLA PTSD. Self-efficacy regarding self-care and diabetes management will be assessed by using the SEDM. Parenting styles will be assessed by administering the Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ).
Mental Health Symptoms
Adolescents with T1DM will be asked to complete PHQ9 (depression screening), SCARED (anxiety screening) and UCLA PTSD (trauma screening)
Self-efficacy regarding self-care and diabetes management
Adolescents with T1DM will be asked to complete the SEDM to asses self-efficacy for diabetes management
Parenting Styles
Parents of adolescents with T1DM will be asked to complete the PSDQ to asses parenting style
