T1DTechCHW Trial Summary

This trial is testing an enhanced community health worker model to help young adults from underrepresented minority groups with type 1 diabetes manage their disease using technology.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for young adults aged 18-30 with type 1 diabetes who are not currently using a connected diabetes technology system. Participants must be from underrepresented minority groups, specifically non-Hispanic Black or Hispanic, and speak English or Spanish. Those who are pregnant, have disabilities that interfere with participation, or have been in another related study recently cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The T1D-CATCH program is being tested to see if it helps young adults from minority groups start and continue using diabetes technology over six months. The study will compare the effects of this enhanced community health worker model against usual care in a randomized controlled trial lasting nine months.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since T1D-CATCH is a support program rather than a medication, traditional side effects aren't expected. However, participants may experience stress or discomfort when adopting new technologies or changes in their routine due to the intervention.

T1DTechCHW Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: T1D-CATCHExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The CHW intervention will consist of both individual and optional group sessions with YA-URMs with T1D. In individual sessions, CHWs will provide T1D technology education, peer support, and social needs management. Over the 9-month study period, session frequency will involve weekly individual sessions based on participant technology milestones and an optional monthly CHW-led peer group support session. CHW individual and group sessions will be held via videoconferencing or in person, per participant preference and institutional COVID-19 rules.
Group II: Usual Care Control ConditionActive Control1 Intervention
Control arm participants will receive usual primary or endocrine care at Montefiore. Usual care consists of a physician or nurse practitioner visit with review of blood sugars and treatment decisions based on provider experience. Physicians in endocrinology practices are nested within a diabetes center with access to diabetes nurse practitioners/educators, dieticians, a psychologist, and nurses. In all practices, patients are recommended to see their physician or nurse practitioner every 3 months and attend individual or group sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Does this trial encompass individuals of an advanced age?

"The present study needs individuals aged 18 to 30 in order to participate. For patients younger than 18, there are 233 trials that may be applicable, while those over 65 can look into the 999 studies available."

Answered by AI

How can I become a participant in this research?

"This medical experiment is seeking 130 participants that are in the 18-30 age range. Their primary requirements include being able to understand English or Spanish, possessing a Type 1 diabetes diagnosis for at least 6 months, and having self-identified as either non-Hispanic Black or Hispanic. Additionally, candidates must not be using any diabetes technology currently (this includes never offered, discontinued, or previously refused)."

Answered by AI

What are the research objectives of this investigation?

"Aiming to measure the effect of T1DTechCHW over a nine-month period, this trial will track its efficacy through participant self-reporting. Secondary metrics such as hemoglobin A1c levels and quality of life (assessed using Diabetes Distress surveys) will also be measured. Additionally, autonomy/competence ratings and social support scores gathered from Healthcare Self-Determination survey data will be analyzed for comparison."

Answered by AI

Are applications being accepted for this clinical investigation at the present moment?

"Affirmatively, the information housed on clinicaltrials.gov demonstrates that this trial is presently look for participants. The research was initially posted on November 7th 2022 and recently modified on November 29th 2022. There are 130 openings at a single site."
