Clinican BEAD-T1D: Building the Evidence to Address Disengagement in Type 1 Diabetes

Youth with public insurance underutilize diabetes care, particularly diabetes technology which is associated with improvement in diabetes-specific outcomes. Thus, we urgently need studies to understand and increase diabetes technology utilization. This proposed research will (1) address the gap in knowledge of barriers and promoters in youth working with clinicians to identify and address factors associated with diabetes technology uptake and utilization.

Inclusion Criteria: * age 18+ years, providers who care for youth with T1D for at least 50% of their clinical efforts, practicing in the United States, care for youth with public insurance, health care role of physicians, advanced practice providers, or certified diabetes care \& education specialists, and understand and willingness to follow study protocol. Exclusion Criteria: * significant cognitive impairment or medical or psychiatric condition that would interfere with participation in the study or lack of access to a smartphone or Wi-Fi via computer.
