Adolescent Interventions to Manage Self-regulation of T1D (AIMS T1D)

The intervention targets Executive Functioning (EF), Emotion Regulation (ER) and Future Orientation (FO). The intervention will occur through home practice and text based reminders and mobile apps to practice techniques. For EF, youth will use the NBack intervention, a computer-based working memory training game. For ER, participants will engage in relaxation and biofeedback activities by completing activities (e.g., modulating breathing to keep heart rate) while wearing sensors. For FO, participants will envision and describe future events they are looking forward to, using concrete, vivid descriptive language. These descriptions will be audio recorded so that the participant can play back the cues at home at specified times of day (e.g., 7am and 3:30PM).
