Technology-delivered Physical Activity Program for Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes

Does a Behavior Change Skills and Physical Activity Program Improve Self-regulation and Health Outcomes in Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes?

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 26 Mar 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This project is comprised of a two-arm randomized control trial (RCT) testing the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a nationally scalable program, Activate, a 12-week, technology-delivered diabetes behavior-change skills training and physical activity promotion program for adolescents with type 1 diabetes. The researchers have a recruitment goal of 30 participants, but will enroll beyond 30 to address any withdrawal and ensure sample size is met. A primary goal of the study is assessing the feasibility and acceptability of the program, which combines two previously piloted components. Then, the investigators will compare the 12-week Activate program to a treatment as usual control group on proximal outcomes of behavior-change skills and daily active minutes. The investigators will also explore the impact of the Activate program on secondary mechanisms and outcomes linked with later type 1 diabetes health disparities: adolescent diabetes behavior regulation, psychological distress, inflammation, glycemic outcomes, and cardiovascular disease risk. It is hypothesized that a diabetes behavior-change skills training and physical activity intervention will be acceptable, and effective at improving behavior-change skills and daily active minutes, as well as other mechanisms and outcomes linked with later type 1 diabetes health disparities.
