There is an urgent need to address medical and psychosocial needs of adolescents with T1D. Baseline sample characteristics and study progress data are presented from a combined in-person/telehealth RCT using multiphasic optimization strategy (2x2 factorial design) to improve A1C in 10-17 yr olds (≥1 A1C 9-12% in prior yr). During Phase 1, 88 adolescents (target N=100) with T1D (Mage=14.5 yrs; 50% female; 79.5% White, 10.2% Hispanic; 76.1% insulin pump) were randomized to Enhanced Standard Care (Medical visit only every 6 weeks) or Integrated Medical/Psychology (Enhanced Standard Care+Personalized Adherence Feedback Report). During Phase 2 (6-mo visit; N completed=75) all adolescents are re-randomized to another 6 months of intervention every 6 weeks: Enhanced Standard Care or Integrated Medical/Psychology (Enhanced Standard Care+Problem-Solving). During Phase 3 (12-mo visit; N complete=50), psychology support is withdrawn; participants are randomized to Enhanced Standard Care (Medical visit only every 6 weeks) or Standard Care (Medical visit only every 3 months) for 6 months). Adolescents and caregivers download devices and complete psychosocial questionnaires at visits (Table; no statistically significant group differences). N=25 completed the study (18-month visit) and 5 withdrew (94% retention to date); data collection is ongoing.
