Transdisciplinary Care for Young Adults With Type 1 Diabetes
This study is looking at a new way to help young adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) as they move from pediatric (childhood) to adult diabetes care. It's called Transdisciplinary Care for Transition (TCT). You would meet with a diabetes nurse educator, a psychologist, and a social worker who work together to provide care. The study wants to see if this team-based approach helps improve blood sugar levels and how ready young adults feel for this big change in their healthcare. We are looking for 80 young adults, aged 17 and older, who have had type 1 diabetes for at least 6 months and are about to have their last visit with their childhood diabetes doctor. All study activities, including enrollment and visits, can be done remotely from anywhere in the United States.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 80 participants. It is not specified if participants are randomly assigned to groups.
- What's involved
- You would participate in three visits with a care team, with the first two visits happening before your first adult diabetes doctor's appointment. Your health will be checked at the start, then at 6 months, and again at 12 months.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for 12 months after starting the study, with measurements taken at 6 and 12 months.
