Perspectives of parents/caregivers prior to a pilot intervention trial to improve transition to adult care for adolescents with type 1 diabetes: A qualitative study
The findings provide practical and pragmatic suggestions to refine the parent/caregiver-based transition of care intervention for a future, full-scale trial, including addressing parental/caregiver needs as they learn how to best support their adolescent with T1D during transition to adulthood. Future transition programmes for adolescents with T1D may also benefit by incorporating aspects of the current transition readiness program for parents/caregivers of adolescents with T1D.
