Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to develop an intervention to increase parental motivation for supervision and monitoring youth diabetes care behavior. The intervention will be tested in three brief session in conjunction with regularly scheduled diabetes clinic visits and delivered through a computer program based in the principles of Motivational Interviewing.
Detailed Description
The study includes a development phase (Phase 1: development of the intervention followed by feasibility testing with 10 youth and 10 parents) and a pilot validation phase [Phase 2: pilot randomized clinical trial (RCT)] using a sample of 90 African American youth transitioning to independent diabetes care and their parents. In this phase, families will be randomly assigned to one of three study arms: parent motivation for monitoring and youth motivation for diabetes care (arm 1), parent motivation for monitoring and youth information (arm 2) or parent and youth information (arm 3). In phase 1 (development), youth and their caregivers will complete a one-time research visit where they use the program and provide feedback via a semi-structured interview regarding the usefulness of the content, its user-friendliness and make suggestions for changes to enhance acceptability. In phase 2 ( RCT), families will complete three intervention plus data collection visits and one additional data collection only visit. Research visits will be scheduled to coincide with appointments in the diabetes clinic to maximize convenience for families.

The Diabetes Management Scale (DMS) (Frey, Ellis, Naar-King et al., 2004) is a self-report questionnaire used to measure a broad range of diabetes management behaviors, such as insulin management, dietary management, blood glucose monitoring, symptom response, and parent assistance/supervision.
Secondary Outcomes
- Parental Monitoring of Diabetes Care(Each of 3 intervention session, 3-4 month apart)
