What this trial is about
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a common chronic illness among children requiring a high degree of self-management for good glycemic control. Adolescents are at risk for poor disease management and health outcomes due to a number of factors, including high rates of depression, anxiety, and stress. Accessing support for these challenges can be a barrier to care, so the current study, BRinging Empowerment and Attention to Teen HEalth-T1D, evaluates the efficacy of a virtual, group-based mindfulness based intervention and a virtual group-based diabetes education intervention on improving symptoms of depression and anxiety, and diabetes self management in teens with T1D. The study also aims to study how these interventions might be implemented in diabetes clinic settings.
