Improving Diabetes in Emerging Adulthood
Improving Diabetes Health in Emerging Adulthood Through an Autonomy Supportive Intervention
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 5 May 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This project will test the efficacy of a multi-component behavioral intervention to improve metabolic control among older adolescents and emerging adults (16-21) with T1D, a group with chronic poor metabolic control. This intervention is grounded in self-determination theory which states that a youth who believes their diabetes management is self-directed, competent, and supported by others is more likely to consistently complete their diabetes self-care. This theory-driven intervention will be scalable to a variety of chronic illness contexts and the knowledge gained from this research will inform self-determination theory and different interventions targeting this population (currently there are no interventions that directly target emerging adults).
