The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of a state-of the art internet
psycho-educational program in clinical practice (Teens-Connect), compared to use of a
standard and widely available internet diabetes program for youth (Planet D™) in a
mixed-method randomized clinical trial design.
psycho-educational program in clinical practice (Teens-Connect), compared to use of a
standard and widely available internet diabetes program for youth (Planet D™) in a
mixed-method randomized clinical trial design.
The aims are:
1. To evaluate the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of provider-prescribed Teens-Connect
(TEENCOPE™+Managing Diabetes) in pediatric diabetes practice compared to prescription
of Planet D™.
The hypotheses to be studied are:
1. Youth who participate in Teens-Connect will have better metabolic control (A1c)
and quality of life (QOL) than those who participate in Planet D.
2. These effects will be mediated by improvements in stress/coping, self-efficacy,
diabetes problem-solving, and self-management.
3. Teens-Connect prescribed by providers in diabetes clinics will be a cost-effective
approach to reduce A1c and improve quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) for youth
with T1D.
2. To compare the reach, efficacy, adoption, implementation, and maintenance (RE-AIM) of
the two provider-prescribed psycho-educational internet programs.
