Family Intervention for Black Teens With Type 1 Diabetes

This study is testing two different approaches to help Black teenagers with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) manage their condition better. One approach is called The 3Ms 2.0 Intervention, which uses a mobile app to help parents monitor their teen's diabetes care. The other is an Educational Attention Control (EAC) intervention, which provides general information about T1D through a mobile app. The main goal is to see if these interventions improve blood sugar control (glycemic control) in teens and improve family relationships related to diabetes. We are also looking at how much stress parents feel about their teen's diabetes. You may be able to join if you are a Black teenager with T1D, aged 10-14, and have a parent willing to participate and who has an internet-enabled device.

Study design
This is a randomized controlled trial involving 216 Black adolescent-caregiver pairs. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either The 3Ms 2.0 Intervention or the Educational Attention Control (EAC) intervention.
What's involved
Caregivers will receive a brief (10-20 minute) 3-session computer-delivered intervention via their mobile device over three months, with access for a maximum of six months.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Glycemic control will be measured at baseline, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after the intervention begins.
