Transition Preparation Intervention for Young Adults With Type 1 Diabetes

November 5, 2020 updated by: Virginia Commonwealth University

Implementing a Transition Preparation Intervention for Young Adults With Type 1 Diabetes in an Integrated Healthcare Setting

The purpose of this research study is to find out more about how to support young adults (ages 18-22) with type 1 diabetes as they prepare to transition from pediatric and adult endocrinology medical care.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The overarching goal of the proposed trial is to improve diabetes self-management and glycemic control in young adults and prepare them for the transition to adult endocrinology. The current application will investigate the impact of a multisystem transition preparation intervention for young adults (ages 18-22) with T1D. Twenty-five young adults and a parent will be enrolled in a 6-month transition preparation program which will use a hybrid in-person and technology delivery structure. Providers will receive training highlighting their role preparing young adults for transition and provides practical tips to use in their communication with young adults. If effective, this multisystem intervention, designed to enhance T1D self-management and increase young adults' readiness for transition to adult healthcare during this critical developmental period, has the potential to inform clinical practice guidelines.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
