Measure
Intervention
This arm will complete an intervention delivered remotely via an online website and online communication from the research team across the 12-week intervention period. This intervention has two parts, taking place simultaneously over the 12 weeks. First, participants will complete 8 web-delivered online behavior-change skills learning sessions which include reading and activities. Second, participants will be given daily and weekly personalized physical activity goals to meet, which will be tracked via their Garmin activity tracker and weekday text and if indicated video support. They have the opportunity to win money each week for meeting activity goals. Diabetes behavior change skills training: Behavior-change skills training will be provided through eight web-delivered content and activity sessions across the 12-week program. Sessions 1 through 4 will occur weekly and sessions 5 through 8 biweekly. Each session takes approximately 15-20 minutes for the adolescent to complete both content learning and related activities. These learning sessions focus on skills like problem solving and goal setting. Physical activity promotion program: The physical activity incentives program includes 12 weeks of personalized goals and incentives for increasing physically active minutes along with weekday text-based support. Active minutes, defined as minutes with moderate to vigorous physical activity, will be tracked via a Garmin fitness activity tracker.
Treatment as Usual - Control
This arm will not complete an intervention. Participants will be instructed to wear a Garmin activity tracker but will be given no other specific instructions, other than to continue to follow their normal daily diabetes care plan.
