Start Date
5/21/2024
Completion Date
2/1/2027
Summary
This is a study to develop and evaluate a peer mentoring intervention for Black and Latinx adolescents with type 1 diabetes to increase the initiation and maintenance of a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device. This device is a standard of care to improve diabetes management related to diet, exercise, and insulin. Use of CGM has been shown to improve health outcomes, but is not used by adolescents of color. Peer mentors may help improve usage.
Detailed Description
In Phase 1, investigators developed the intervention with a stakeholder advisory group. In Phase 2, investigators will conduct a small clinical trial to evaluate the intervention. Phase 1 is complete with the focus of this registration being Phase 2, the clinical trial. All study procedures will be conducted remotely by ZOOM, including consent/assent, device and training, and peer mentor sessions.
