CHLA is testing "Team Clinic" – a new way to care for adolescents who have Type 1 Diabetes.
Team Clinic has group sessions for adolescents and family members.
These group sessions happen in combination with individual appointments.
Individual appointments
These are regular appointments that providers have with the patients and their family members. The individual appointments might be on video or in person.
Adolescent group session
This is a group activity and discussion for adolescents only.
Family group session
This is a group discussion only for their family members (parents, caregivers, and others).
What is the goal of Team Clinic?
The goal is to help adolescents gain skills and confidence as they transition to more independent management of diabetes.
Who can volunteer for this research study?
Middle school and High school aged adolescents that have been living with Type 1 Diabetes for at least 6 months. Your family will also participate in the research study.
What happens if you volunteer?
Half of the volunteers (and their families) will participate in online/virtual groups every 3 months with other middle schoolers. The other half of the volunteers will continue with their current standard medical appointments. This is called randomization. All volunteers will be asked to answer surveys before and after appointments. You might also use Shared Decision-Making worksheets that help guide and choose topics that are most important to you during your appointment. Your participation will last approximately 15 months.
What compensation is given to volunteers?
All volunteers are able to get up to $170 worth of gift cards.
