Feasibility and signals of efficacy of the Type 1 Diabetes Education and Support (T1DES) intervention to improve diabetes distress and glycemic levels among Black young adults with type 1 diabetes compared to standard diabetes education: study protoc

BACKGROUND: , poorer self-management, and reduced quality of life, and contributes to disparities between Black and White patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Young adults may be particularly vulnerable to diabetes distress. Young Black adults therefore may benefit from tailored, representative, and inclusive interventions. Yet, few interventions have been designed to center the experiences of diabetes distress among Black young adults with T1D. METHODS: ) between study arms, which will be collected at baseline and 3 months post intervention and 6 months post intervention. DISCUSSION: and improve diabetes management. If successful, the T1DES intervention could be disseminated to support the long-term goal of improving diabetes outcomes and reducing healthcare disparities in this population.
