Family Management of Type 1 Diabetes in Children

This is a multi-center, randomized controlled trial to test whether a clinic-integrated, low intensity, multi-component behavioral intervention is effective in preventing the deterioration in glycemic control, treatment adherence, and quality of life that commonly occur during late childhood and early adolescence in youth with type 1 diabetes. The study will also examine mechanisms and processes that influence the effectiveness of family management of diabetes during this developmental period.
