Identification and Treatment of Diabetes In Solid Organ Transplant Recipients

Participants will complete several psychological questionnaires that are intended to cover a broad spectrum of physical, mental, and emotional aspects of the health of participants; the Behavior Assessment System for Children (BASC) ,the Children Depression Inventory (CDI 2), the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory Transplant Module (PedsQL), and the Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence II (WASI-II). Data gathered from this testing will be used to guide the provision of psychological care to address psychosocial challenges inherent to the care of children with transplant related diabetes.

Pediatric Certified Diabetes Educators (CDEs) are specially trained to teach diabetes self-management to children and their families. Participants who are diagnosed with diabetes will receive individualized support from a CDE in conjunction with their routine transplant care.
