Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

SMART T1D is a research study that offers interactive diabetes education for teens with type 1 diabetes in peer groups led by diabetes nurse educators. Participants in the study will be randomly assigned to either receive three of the group sessions in addition to their routine clinic care or to receive their usual diabetes clinic care.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The objective of this 12-month pilot randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the impact of a 3-session group educational curriculum, compared to standard care, on self-care adherence and transition readiness in adolescents with type 1 diabetes in the Boston Children's Hospital (BCH) Diabetes Program. Adolescents (15-18 years) with T1D will be randomized to receive a 3-session group curriculum ("SMART T1D" - Self-Management, Adherence and Readiness for Transition in T1D) in addition to usual care (intervention group) or to receive usual care with individual diabetes visits (control group) and electronic newsletters to match for attention.

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

This is a 12-month randomized controlled trial evaluating the impact of a health care delivery intervention ("SMART T1D" - a 3-session group educational curriculum), compared to standard care, on self-care adherence and transition readiness in adolescents with type 1 diabetes. Intervention (group sessions) and control (standard care) subjects will complete the study on a parallel timeline.

Study Groups

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

Intervention Group

Participants in this group will receive 3 group education sessions led by a diabetes nurse educator in addition to standard care.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Patients randomized to the intervention group will attend 3 SMART T1D group curriculum sessions over the study period, in addition to usual diabetes clinic care. Each interactive group session will last 2 hours and will be facilitated by a diabetes nurse educator.

Control Group

These participants will receive no intervention. They will have clinic care as usual and will receive three diabetes newsletters to match for attention.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
