About This Type 1 Diabetes Study in Houston

The EMPoWER Study randomized clinical trial is a strengths-based behavioral intervention delivered to youth with type 1 diabetes (age 10 to 13) and their parents. The purpose of the intervention is to improve glycemic, behavioral, and psychosocial outcomes in youth with diabetes using a multiple systems approach that engages youth, their parents, and diabetes care providers to identify and build youths' diabetes strengths. The primary aim of this study is to assess the intervention impact on glycemic control, adherence, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Secondary aims are to evaluate behavioral mediators of intervention impact and to examine intervention dose as a mediator of intervention impact.
