Description
A NIH-funded research project focusing on improving health outcomes for adolescents and young adults with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) through a structured transition program called SHIFT2. The project involves a 6-month multisystem transition preparation program employing hybrid delivery modes including clinic staff and hospital-based technology platforms. The intervention includes psychoeducation, behavioral self-management, and provider communication training for adolescents and young adults, along with psychoeducation and parenting strategies for parents, and a training module for providers. The primary outcome is HbA1c levels, with findings expected to inform clinical guidelines for T1D management in adolescents and young adults.
