Brief Summary

CoYoT1 to California (CTC) was initiated to develop a patient-centered, home telehealth care model for young adults (YA) ages 16-25 with T1D. It is a 2x2 factorial design, 15-month intervention. Eighty participants will be randomized to Standard Care or CoYoT1 Care, which is delivered by telehealth or in-person. CoYoT1 Care is a patient-centered care model that consists of three major components: shared decision making (patient and provider agree upon priorities for the medical visit), autonomy and supportive care (provider training in communication strategies such as motivational interviewing), and goal setting and action planning (provider training to coach YA in setting SMART goals, developing action plans, and designing follow up plans). Additionally, didactic expert-led sessions (Standard Care) or peer-led, YA-driven group sessions (CoYoT1 Care) are included. At the end of the study, a focus group will be completed to assist in determining which features YA felt were critical to their success from the telehealth intervention, group components, and provider behaviors.

\*\*\*COVID-19 Update: Due to current hospital and clinical policy adaptation for COVID-19, all participants who were randomized into in-person appointments will now receive care via Telehealth. Telehealth has been implemented hospital-wide and will be the temporary delivery of care method during this pandemic. Participants have been notified of this change and given instruction on how to participate in a Telehealth appointment.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of participants with completed appointments in telemedicine cohort12 months
