Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Behavioral Care Coordinated with Medical Care
Participants in this group will work with a study team member for four months to improve your skills to manage diabetes, to strengthen the child-caregiver relationship, and/or to address emotional challenges that your child might be experiencing.
Participants will be meeting with a behavioral health provider during their clinic visit. Subsequent visits can be held either via telehealth or in-person. Participants should expect weekly visits during the first two months and less frequent visits (biweekly or monthly) for the last two months. Some sessions that are provided via telehealth might be video recorded and later reviewed to ensure that the program is being delivered as intended.
Active Comparator: Behavioral Care Not Coordinated with Medical Care
Participants will receive the standard of care treatment for four months plus a list of clinics that accept their insurance.
Participants will meet with a study team member during their in-person visit and will receive a list of clinics that are panelled with their insurance. The participants will be responsible for calling the clinics to set up their appointments. Services might be provided in person or via telehealth based on the participant's preference and the clinics' availability.
