About this study

The study will compare three treatment strategies to look at the best clinical outcomes.

The investigator hypothesizes that the combined approach of a health information technology program plus a conflict-management contract will lead to the best outcomes.

Read the detailed description

This study will compare three strategies for enhancing adherence to diabetes care in our population. The study will look at which strategy results in the best short-term clinical outcomes for the population. Also, the study will look at patient satisfaction of contact with his/her health care team, quality of life, and family dynamics.

The three arms are:

  1. HIT (health information technology) aided approach
  2. Contracted conflict-management strategy
  3. Combination of the HIT-aided approach and the contracted conflict management strategy
Conditions
Type 1 Diabetes
Being tested
HIT-aided approach, Contracted conflict management system, HIT plus contracted conflict management
Keywords

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • HIT-aided approachBehavioural

    Subjects randomized to this approach will be using the HIT-aided monitor.

  • Contracted conflict management systemBehavioural

    Subjects randomized to this arm will be using the behavioral contracted conflict management system.

  • HIT plus contracted conflict managementBehavioural

    Subjects randomized to this arm will use both the HIT-aided approach and the behavioral contract conflict management system.

Study groups in NCT02115555
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
HIT-aided approachExperimentalAdolescents and their parents randomized to this arm will be oriented on a HIT system. The system transmits self monitoring blood glucose self monitoring blood glucose data to a secure web portal. The subject will receive messages from the HIT system on the meter based upon the Self Monitored Blood glucose tests.
Receives: Behavioral: HIT-aided approach
Contracted conflict management systemExperimentalAdolescent-parent pairs will meet with a health educator to establish a behavioral contract that will set patient-centered self-management goals for the adolescent.
Receives: Behavioral: Contracted conflict management system
HIT plus contracted conflict managementExperimentalAdolescents and their parents randomized to this arm will be oriented on a HIT system. The system transmits self monitoring blood glucose data to a secure web portal. The subject will receive messages from the HIT system on the meter based upon the tests. In addition, adolescent-parent pairs will meet with a health educator to establish a behavioral contract that will set patient-centered self-management goals for the adolescent. This arm combines arms 1 and 2.
Receives: Behavioral: HIT plus contracted conflict management

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Glycemic Control using HBA1C

    Change in Glycemic Control

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Frequency of self monitoring blood glucose measurement

    change in Self-monitoring blood glucose measurement

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months, 6 months

  2. Quality of Life

    Change in Diabetes-specific quality of life measures will be measured by the Varney's Pediatric Quality of Life 3.0 Diabetes Module.

    Measured: Baseline and 6 months

  3. Family dynamics

    Change in family dynamics measured by the Cornell Parent Behavior Description Scale and the Helping for Health Inventory.

    Measured: Baseline and 6 months

  4. Treatment Adherence Behaviors

    Change in treatment adherence behaviors measured by the Self-Care Inventory with supplemental questions determined by the investigator.

    Measured: Once per month for 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing HIT-aided approach, Contracted conflict management system and HIT plus contracted conflict management in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by Indiana University at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Feb 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Glycemic Control using HBA1C (time frame: Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Feb 2019.
