NCT ID NCT06160934
First seen Jul 21, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests a brief, three-session telehealth program called the T1D Parent Check-In for parents of children (ages 8–17) newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. The program aims to help parents feel more confident, reduce family conflict, and improve the child's quality of life. Half of the 50 participating parents receive the intervention, while the other half continue with usual care. The study focuses on whether parents find the program helpful and whether it improves their coping and problem-solving skills.
