Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Diabetes Management Scale

    The Diabetes Management Scale (DMS) (Frey, Ellis, Naar-King et al., 2004) is a self-report questionnaire used to measure a broad range of diabetes management behaviors, such as insulin management, dietary management, blood glucose monitoring, symptom response, and parent assistance/supervision.

    Each of 3 intervention session, 3-4 month apart

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Treatment Regulation Questionnaire

    Each of 3 intervention session, 3-4 month apart

  • Readiness Ruler

    Each of 3 intervention session, 3-4 month apart

  • HbA1C Blood Test

    Each of 3 intervention session, 3-4 month apart

  • Parental Monitoring of Diabetes Care

    Each of 3 intervention session, 3-4 month apart

  • Twenty-four Hour Recall Interview

    Each of 3 intervention session, 3-4 month apart

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (3)

Active Caregiver and Active Child

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Parent \& Child Computer-Delivered Motivational Intervention will be delivered to participants. A brief computer delivered behavior change counseling intervention for parents of children with diabetes to improve monitoring of diabetes care and a brief computer delivered behavior change counseling intervention for children with diabetes to improve completion of daily diabetes care.

Behavioral: Parent & Child Computer-Delivered Motivational Intervention

Active Caregiver and Child Education

EXPERIMENTAL

Parent Computer-Delivered Motivational Intervention will be delivered to the parents only. A brief computer delivered behavior change counseling intervention for parents of children with diabetes to improve monitoring of diabetes care and a brief computer delivered informational session about diabetes related topics for their child with diabetes.

Behavioral: Parent Computer-Delivered Motivational Intervention

Education Caregiver/Education Child

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants will receive computer-delivered information. A brief computer delivered information session about diabetes related topics for both the caregiver and the child with diabetes.

Behavioral: Computer-Delivered Information

Interventions

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a client-centered, directive method for enhancing intrinsic motivation to change by exploring \& resolving ambivalence, with a strong evidence for improving adolescent \& adult health behaviors. Three motivational sessions will be provided by an animated character who delivers the intervention with high fidelity to MI principles. Small amounts of psychoeducation about potential improvements illness management that can result from parental monitoring of diabetes care will be integrated with more purely motivational elements. Mailings will be sent to participants to remind them of the reasons they gave as motivation \& goals they set regarding monitoring diabetes care.
