Clinican BEAD-T1D: Building the Evidence to Address Disengagement in Type 1 Diabetes (BEAD-T1D)

March 19, 2026 updated by: Ananta Addala, Stanford University

Improving Outcomes in Pediatric Diabetes: Building the Evidence Base to Inform Effective Diabetes Technology Interventions

Youth with public insurance underutilize diabetes care, particularly diabetes technology which is associated with improvement in diabetes-specific outcomes. Thus, we urgently need studies to understand and increase diabetes technology utilization. This proposed research will (1) address the gap in knowledge of barriers and promoters in youth working with clinicians to identify and address factors associated with diabetes technology uptake and utilization.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

As diabetes technologies have become more innovative and effective in the management of pediatric type 1 diabetes (T1D), research and usage has not engaged all youth living with T1D . Studies have consistently demonstrated lower rates of diabetes technology use in some youth. Although diabetes technology has the potential to improve in pediatric T1D outcomes. This proposal aims to build an evidence base for data-driven interventions designed to increase uptake and utilization of diabetes innovations by addressing barriers and supporting promoters of diabetes technology use. Focusing on clinicians, the overall objective of this proposal is to test a brief pilot intervention to increase provider recommendation of diabetes technology.

  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Pilot Intervention
The design for this phase is a prospective pilot study. The intervention will be delivered weekly over a four-week period and will include pre- and post-intervention assessments of survey measurements. The investigators will evaluate rates of diabetes technology utilization. Virtual delivery of the pilot intervention will facilitate national recruitment.
The design for this phase is a prospective pilot study. The intervention modules will be delivered weekly over a four-week period and will include pre- and post-intervention assessments of survey measurements. We will recruit 20 clinicians to participate in the delivery of the pilot intervention.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Tracking people who complete the study
Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of one year
The investigators will also keep track of who enrolled in the study and track how many people completed the intervention.
Through study completion, an average of one year
Interviews with you on your feedback on the intervention
Time Frame: Within 4 weeks upon intervention completion
The investigators will ask clincians questions in a 30-minute interview at the end of the four-week intervention. The investigators will evaluate feedback on ways the intervention could be more effective and what changes can be made to the intervention so that it is most effective. The investigators will ask clinicians if you they likely to change diabetes management after completing the intervention.
Within 4 weeks upon intervention completion
Survey questions on your feedback on the intervention
Time Frame: Within 4 weeks upon intervention completion
The investigators will ask clincians questions in a feedback survey at the end of the four-week intervention. These questions will be developed by the investigators and will ask ways the intervention could be more effective and what changes can be made to the intervention so that it is most effective. Example questions of what the investigators plan to ask in the survey include: - Was the study explained appropriately? - Was it logistically easy to participate in the study? How could it have improved? - What parts of the intervention were most helpful? - What parts could be cut? - What parts need to be added? - Are there certain types of people who are likely to do better with this intervention?
Within 4 weeks upon intervention completion

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Changes in diabetes technology usage
Time Frame: Within 4 weeks upon intervention completion
The investigators will ask you survey questions to understand clinician attitudes towards diabetes technology at the start and end of the study intervention. The investigators will use a validated survey measure called Diabetes Technology Attitudes Survey to assess this in addition to having conversations with clinicians to learn beliefs about diabetes technology.
Within 4 weeks upon intervention completion
