Family Intervention for Black Teens with Type 1 Diabetes (3Ms)
The purpose of this study is to conduct a multicenter, randomized effectiveness trial of the 3Ms 2.0 compared to an educational control condition for improving adolescent glycemic control and diabetes-related family relationships and reducing primary caregiver diabetes-related distress among Black adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and their primary caregivers. The proposed study would develop and test the 3Ms 2.0 adapted intervention when delivered using a mobile health approach. The intervention will also include new family intervention content.
