The T1D Parent Check-In: A Preventative Intervention

The Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) Parent Check-in is an innovative, 3-session, T1D-specific intervention for parents of newly diagnosed children and adolescents that can be delivered via telehealth. The T1D Parent Check-in is an adaptation of The Parent Check-In, a brief, prevention-based parenting intervention developed by Grolnick, Levitt, Caruso, \& Lerner (2021). The T1D Parent Check-in is designed to promote parenting skills on dimensions of autonomy support, structure and involvement that facilitate children's adjustment and motivation, and integrates skills from cognitive-behavioral therapy, customized to be highly relevant to families with a child 6-12 months from new diagnosis of T1D. The intervention is intended to promote diabetes-related resilience and positive psychological and medical outcomes among families of children with T1D.
