Blood Glucose Levels and Diabetes Family Conflict in Black Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes During the Covid-19 Pandemic
The coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic escalated family stress and prompted interruptions of regular healthcare visits. Such pandemic-related disruptions may be particularly deleterious among Black youth with chronic health conditions, such as type 1 diabetes. The present study leveraged longitudinal data from a multi-center randomized clinical trial (Clinicaltrials.gov [NCT03168867]) and a follow-up ancillary study focused on effects of COVID-…
Building Community Research Capacity to Address Cardiovascular Health Disparities
Evidence-based tools that build community capacity to partner across the continuum of research and models for knowledge and skill translation to support community–academic research partnerships are needed. We adapted the Michigan Cancer Healthlink model to derive a curriculum that significantly increased cardiovascular health equity research capacity among Black adults. This curriculum yielded high participation in community-engaged research acti…
Meeting the Needs of Emerging Adults With Type 1 Diabetes Living in a Rural Area With Mobile Health Interventions
N/A, not a clinical trial.
Naturalistically observed interpersonal problems and diabetes management in older adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes
OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the links between naturalistically observed and self-reported interpersonal problems, diabetes management, and glucose levels in older adolescents and young adults with type 1 diabetes. DESIGN: Sixty-eight older adolescents and young adults (aged 17-20 years) participated in a cross-sectional study that consisted of three home visits and a daily diary segment. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: values, conducted an intervie…
Toward the Development of a Culturally Humble Intervention to Improve Glycemic Control and Quality of Life among Adolescents with Type-1 Diabetes and Their Families
Type-1 Diabetes (T1D) is a prevalent and costly disorder associated with substantial morbidity that differentially impacts low-income and/or minority adolescents and their families. The primary study objective was to develop a guiding model to inform culturally humble interventions for Mid-southern youth with T1D presenting with multiple correlates of suboptimal glycemic control and their families. In order to develop a clinic specific guiding mo…
Promoting resilience through neurocognitive functioning in youth living with HIV
Using a phased model of intervention development, we developed an intervention to promote resilience in youth living with HIV via improved neurocognitive resources. First, youth completed a naturalistic prospective memory (PM) task and were randomized into a visualization condition or control condition. Next, 47 of these participants completed another naturalistic PM task and were randomized into Calendaring condition, an Alarm condition, a Combi…
Multisystemic therapy for poorly adherent youth with HIV
Adherence to antiretroviral medication for the treatment of HIV is a significant predictor of virologic suppression and is associated with dramatic reductions in mortality and morbidity and other improved clinical outcomes for pediatric patient populations. Effective strategies for addressing adherence problems in youth infected with HIV are needed and require significant attention to the complex interplay of multiple, interacting causal risk fac…
Psychosocial factors and treatment adherence in paediatric HIV/Aids
A social ecological model provides a promising framework for understanding the individual, family, and societal factors contributing to non-adherence to treatment of paediatric HIV. This study explored which factors relevant to this model are associated with caregivers' adherence and child health outcomes. A cross-sectional design was utilized to assess relationships among current individual, familial, extra-familial factors, caregiver adherence,…
