Longitudinal Test of Adherence & Control in Kids New to Type 1 Diabetes & 5-9 Years Old

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new intervention (CARES: Cognitive Adaptations to
Reduce Emotional Stress Associated with Type 1 Diabetes) designed to reduce caregiver
depressive symptoms in families of children with T1D. This is a pilot, single-arm study, in
which all enrolled parents/caregivers will be placed in the intervention group to assess
initial pre- to post-treatment impact of the intervention on parent/caregiver depression,
distress, and diabetes-related outcomes (e.g., glycemic control).


Inclusion Criteria:

- Parent/primary caregiver of a child diagnosed with T1D between 5-12 years old

- Parent/caregiver elevated depression symptoms on the CESD-R (score ≥ 16 at time of
screening)

- Child with T1D receiving intensive insulin regimen by multiple dose injections (MDI)
or continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (pump)

Exclusion Criteria:

- Child with T1D currently in foster care or not living with legal guardian

- Child with evidence of type 2 diabetes or monogenic diabetes

- Child with a co-morbid chronic illness (e.g., renal disease) that requires ongoing
care beyond T1D

- Children who are chronically using medications that may impact glycemic control (i.e.,
systemic steroids)

- Parents/caregivers who do not speak English (currently there is no way to recruit
non-English speaking families because the study questionnaires are only available in
English)
