Promoting Adolescent Investment In Diabetes Care (InvesT1D)

March 2, 2024 updated by: Davene R. Wright, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care
Two financial incentive strategies targeting adolescents with type 1 diabetes will be compared to usual care for motivating adolescents to engage in improved self-care to manage their diabetes.

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

Participants will be asked to choose a self-care goal relevant to the device(s) they use to manage their diabetes from a pre-defined list of self-care targets. A randomized 3 (treatment) x 3 (occasion) crossover design will be used to compare treatments that are administered to participants in a predetermined sequence. The intervention arms include financial incentives administered in a gain- and loss-frame for adherence to daily self-care goals. The control arm is usual care. Participants can also earn additional incentives for meeting clinical care goals such as an improvement in the percentage of time glucose levels are consistent with hyperglycemia (>180 mg/dL). The primary outcome will be HbA1c at 12 weeks compared to baseline. Secondary outcomes will include frequency of insulin administration, engagement in diabetes self-care (SCI-R), patient-reported outcomes (Problem Areas in Diabetes - Teen version and Diabetes Family Conflict Scale).

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
39

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

12 years to 18 years (Child, Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
No Intervention: Control
Usual care reflects the standard treatment currently provided to T1D patients. All adolescent participants in the study will have access to the multidisciplinary care team including a diabetes provider, registered diabetes nurse, social worker, and nutritionist. Telephone consultations are available 24/7 as often as necessary between clinic visits.
Experimental: Gain-framed incentive

Participants will start off with nothing at the beginning of the treatment period. For each day that participants' meet goals, value will be added to their incentive balance.

All adolescent participants in the study will have access to the multidisciplinary care team including a diabetes provider, registered diabetes nurse, social worker, and nutritionist. Telephone consultations are available 24/7 as often as necessary between clinic visits.
Behavioral: Financial incentive (gain)
Participants will receive a daily financial incentive framed as a gain with money allocated each day of adherence to a self-care coal. Participants will receive an additional weekly incentive for meeting a clinical outcome goal.
Experimental: Loss-framed incentive

Participants will start off at the maximum incentive balance at the beginning of the treatment period and for each day that participants' fail to meet goals, value will be subtracted from their incentive balance over the 12-week.

All adolescent participants in the study will have access to the multidisciplinary care team including a diabetes provider, registered diabetes nurse, social worker, and nutritionist. Telephone consultations are available 24/7 as often as necessary between clinic visits.
Behavioral: Financial incentive (loss)
Participants will receive a daily financial incentive framed as a loss with money allocated up front and taken away each day of non-adherence to a self-care coal. An additional weekly incentive will be deducted for failure to meet a clinical outcome goal.

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
