Summary

DiaBetter Together is a strengths-based peer support intervention delivered to young adults (age 17-25) by trained Peer Mentors (age 20-35) during the transition between pediatric and adult diabetes care. The aims of this proposed randomized controlled trial are to evaluate the impact of the intervention on glycemic control (primary), time to first adult care visit, adherence, and psychosocial outcomes (secondary) in young adults with T1D after 12 months.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

DiaBetter Together

Following an intervention manual, the Peer Mentor will teach behavioral strategies and offer support to the young adult, including (a) teaching and modeling strengths-based skills for goal-setting, problem-solving, and stress management; (b) guiding participants in obtaining support from their social support network (e.g., family, friends); (c) developing a plan for accountability around diabetes management and follow-up in adult care; (d) sharing his/her transition experiences and strategies for successfully navigating the adult healthcare system; (e) discussing how to prioritize diabetes self-care; and (f) assisting them in accessing diabetes-related resources (e.g., local diabetes groups, apps, social media). Contact will be in-person, by phone, email, text message, and/or video, approximately weekly for first 3 mos, approximately biweekly for next 3 mos, and approximately monthly for last 6 mos (while COVID-19 safety recommendations are in place, in-person meetings will not occur).

BEHAVIORAL

Peer Mentor Delivery

Peer Mentors deliver the intervention to multiple young adult participants, each for 12 months. Peer Mentors may take on one or more participants at a time, and Peer Mentors may stay in their role in the study (delivering the intervention) for 1-3 years.
